The former Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Khaled El-Anani, has been elected by the executive council of UNESCO to serve as the director general. If confirmed by the general assembly in Uzbekistan, El-Anani will take over an agency affected by the withdrawal of the USA, which could lead to a budget deficit. El-Anani won the vote against his opponent, Firmin Edouard Matoko.
