At the elections held during the 41st session of the UNESCO General Conference in Paris on November 17, Armenia was elected a member of the UNESCO Executive Board for the first time for the period of 2021-2025, Armenian MFA said.
“Candidates from four countries – Armenia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Azerbaijan – were nominated for the three vacancies in the Executive Council elections to the regional group of Eastern European countries. “For the first time since its accession to UNESCO in 1992, Armenia has been elected to UNESCO Executive Board for 2021-2025,” the ministry said.
The Executive Board of UNESCO is made up of 58 member states and is the second most important body of the organization after the General Conference. The meetings of the Executive Council are convened twice a year; the main function of the latter is to ensure the proper implementation of the decisions adopted by the General Assembly.
