Egypt’s delegate to the UNESCO, Mohamed sameh Amr, has said that Egypt is going to ask the organization to add further Egyptian sites to its World Heritage List.
Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty arrived to Paris on Wednesday for a series of UNESCO meetings where he discusses a set of projects commonly carried out with the organization.
Amr said the minister’s visit came in time as the organization’s world heritage commission prepares for its meeting next June, where it is scheduled to discuss a number of world sites, including from Egypt, that can possibly be enlisted.
