[Chapter-delegates] good news from UNESCO

[Khaled KOUBAA]

Veni,
Congratulation for Irina Bokova nomination at the head of UNESCO.
I hope that more and more good news will come in the future as Unesco is 
doing a good work specially at the freedom of expression issues.
I have to add that Farouk Hosny was also a very good candidate and very 
known for his involvement at the "culture" level.
Good luck for both of them.
Khaled
