Qatar's candidate for the post of UNESCO director-general Dr Hamad Al-Kuwari (QNA)
Paris (IINA) – Advisor at the Emiri Diwan and Qatar's candidate to the post of UNESCO director-general Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari underlined the depth of relations between the UN agency and the State of Qatar which are based on friendship and cooperation in various fields, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
This came in the first speech he gave abroad after the announcement of his candidacy for the post of the director-general of UNESCO at the diplomats' forum in Paris on Wednesday.
It is to be recalled that in 2003, Dr Al-Kuwari said the relations between Qatar and UNESCO began to take a new turn by the appointment of Sheikha Moza bint Nasser as UNESCO Special Envoy for Basic and Higher Education, referring in this respect to the commitment of Qatar towards education through WISE, Educate a Child and Education Above All, paved the opportunity for more than 10 million children to have education in the most vulnerable and marginal areas of the world.
The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) is an international initiative aimed at transforming education through innovation. WISE was established by Qatar Foundation in 2009 under the patronage of its Chairperson Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser. With an three-day Summit held annually in Doha, and a range of year-round initiatives, WISE's mission revolves around promoting new approaches to education and investigating ways to manage education challenges.
