Egypt's former tourism and antiquities minister, Khaled El-Enany, is set to be appointed as the new director-general of UNESCO after the executive board voted overwhelmingly in his favor. Despite the United States abstaining from voting, El-Enany secured 55 votes against his opponent, Édouard Firmin Matoko from the Republic of Congo.
