DUBAI, 12th February, 2025 (WAM) -- UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay has highlighted the
UAE’s pivotal role in international cultural cooperation, describing it as a key partner in heritage
preservation and post-crisis reconstruction efforts.
Speaking at the World Governments Summit 2025 (WGS) in Dubai, Azoulay underscored the
significance of global collaboration in education, culture, and science. She pointed to the “Revive
the Spirit of Mosul” campaign, launched in 2018, as a prime example of how heritage restoration
can drive recovery, noting that the UAE was the primary financial supporter of the project.
