Unesco seat yet another feather in UAE cap: The UAE on Thursday won a seat at the Unesco Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, for 2021-2025. This honour was conferred upon the UAE as a just recognition for its commitment in promoting cultural diversity. The Unesco seat is yet another feather in the cap of a nation whose leadership, right from the inception of the Union and until this day, has promoted the values of peaceful coexistence amid a veritable cultural and social mosaic that has enriched the country’s legacy as a stand-bearer of the spirit of tolerance and brotherhood. It is no wonder that the UAE has people from more than 200 nationalities who have rediscovered their socio-cultural and economic bearings in a land that they consider as their second home.
