PARIS, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) — Former Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Khaled El-Anani was nominated as the sole candidate for the post of Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) during the 222nd session of the organization's executive board held in Paris on Monday.

In the vote, which took place on Monday evening, H. al-Anani received 55 votes, while the candidate from the Republic of the Congo, Firmin Edouard Matoko, received two. Since H. al-Anani received more than half of the valid votes, he won.

According to a statement from UNESCO, his candidacy will be submitted for approval to the UNESCO General Conference, which will take place on November 6 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

H. Al-Anani, born in 1971, currently holds the position of Professor of Egyptology at Helwan University in Egypt, where he has taught for over 30 years. If elected, H. Al-Anani will become the first Director-General of UNESCO from the Arab world and the second African to hold this position in the organization's 80-year history.

“If elected by the General Conference in November, I pledge that in my first 100 days I will work hand in hand with all Member States to jointly build a roadmap for UNESCO’s modernization and steer the Organization into the future – a UNESCO for all, without discrimination, a UNESCO for peace, and a united UNESCO,” said H. Al-Anani after the vote.

The mandate of UNESCO's current Director-General, Audrey Azoulay, who held the post for eight years, expires in November. –0–

Tehran, October 6 (Xinhua) — Iran has no plans to hold talks with France, Britain, and Germany, known as the E3, following their decision to trigger the UN sanctions snapback mechanism, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday.

At a weekly briefing for journalists in Tehran, E. Baghaei said that Iran is “studying the impact and consequences” of recent anti-Iranian measures by three European powers and the United States.

He said Iran would decide on diplomatic steps "whenever the government deems it productive." He emphasized that any negotiations must serve the country's national interests.

“Iran will never beg for negotiations,” Baghaei said, adding that negotiations are a two-way process that must protect national interests, security and dignity.

The UN Security Council did not extend Iran's sanctions waiver in September after the E3 countries, in coordination with Washington, activated the snapback mechanism in August.

Since September last year, Iran has held several rounds of talks with the EU-3, which have focused primarily on the Iranian nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions.

Almaty, October 6 (Xinhua) — To achieve the goal of doubling Kazakhstan's gross domestic product (GDP) to $450 billion by 2029, investment in the economy must increase more than 2.5-fold, from $41 billion in 2024 to $103 billion in 2029, the Kazinform news agency reported, citing the country's government.

As Arman Kasenov, Vice Minister of National Economy of Kazakhstan, noted at a meeting of the Expert Council under the Ministry of National Economy, during the specified period, the investment-to-GDP ratio should increase from 14 to 23 percent, while the total investment volume for 2025-2029 should amount to approximately $400 billion.

The changes are planned to be implemented as part of Kazakhstan's new proactive economic growth policy. According to A. Kasenov, this signifies a shift from a model in which the state merely supports businesses to a model of active participation in the organization and creation of industries and projects.

Khartoum, October 6 (Xinhua) — Sudan and South Sudan have agreed to protect oil facilities and central pumping stations on pipelines transporting oil from South Sudan to Port Sudan in eastern Sudan, according to a joint statement released on Monday.

The document notes that the parties have committed to strengthening technical potential, increasing oil production volumes, and ensuring the safety of oil fields and key pumping stations.

In addition, the two countries agreed to continue cooperation in areas such as counter-terrorism, intelligence sharing and border security.

As part of efforts to deepen economic ties, the two sides announced plans to establish a joint economic committee to develop cooperation in various areas, including trade, investment, energy, oil production, agriculture, transport, infrastructure, and public-private partnerships.

It was proposed to establish a free trade zone in Port Sudan, which would facilitate cross-border trade and investment, support the oil industry and its supply chains, and streamline the transportation of transit cargo to South Sudan.

The agreements were reached during the official visit of South Sudan's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Manday Simaya Kumba, to Sudan from October 4 to 6.

During his stay in Port Sudan, the South Sudanese minister held talks with the Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council of Sudan, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and other senior officials.

Oil exports remain the main source of income for South Sudan, which uses Sudanese territory to transport the commodity to world markets, paying transit fees to the latter. –0–
