🎙Permanent Delegate of Russia 🇷🇺 to UNESCO Mr. Rinat Alyautdinov in response to a TASS question:
💬 Donald Trump's Executive Order to review US membership in #UNESCO in the near future calls into question the possibility of repaying the huge US debt to the Organisation (amounting to over $600 million), which exceeds Organisation’s annual budget.
☝️In this case the developing countries, first of all, African, which counted on Washington to fulfil its financial obligations, may be most affected.

🎙️Commentaire de Jacques Ragon, Président de l'association 🇫🇷 "Taïga-Europe", expert de l'Association des plus beaux villages de Russie
💬En apprenant que le Parc National de Kenozero avait été accepté dans la liste de l’UNESCO, j’ai été ému et très satisfait. Car dès juin 2016, en accompagnement du président de l’association des Plus Beaux Villages de Russie, j’ai visité ce parc pour expertiser son potentiel, pour qu’un de ses premiers villages puisse rejoindre notre Association.
La beauté sublime de ses paysages, le patrimoine architectural préservé du grand Nord Russe, l’accueil des habitants, la professionnalisation de l’administration du parc, ont concouru à la fois à l’entrée du village Zekhnovo dans notre association comme membre , et bien-sûr à l’entrée très réservée et élitiste dans la liste de l’UNESCO.
Nous remercions les directrices du parc Alexandra Yakovleva et auparavant Elena Shatkovskaya, le MAE de 🇷🇺 pour sa détermination au sein de #UNESCO afin de voir la liste russe admise.
