In keeping with the patronage and support of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, for cultural institutions in the Arab world, UNESCO witnessed the signing ceremony on Tuesday of the agreement between the Government of Sharjah and UNESCO to renovate the Beirut Grand Theatre.
Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Owais, the chairman of the Sharjah Department of Culture; Ernesto Ottone Ramirez, the assistant director-general for culture at UNESCO; Hind Darwish, the ambassador of Lebanon to UNESCO; Mohammed Ibrahim Al Qaseer, the director of the Department of Cultural Affairs at the Sharjah Department of Culture; and others attended the signing ceremony, which took place at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France.
He said that the agreement’s signing supports this positive strategy for living a life rich in culture and the arts, which the UAE’s astute leadership has continuously followed through a number of cultural projects at the Arab and international levels.
Al Owais emphasised that this event is an extension of Sheikh Sultan’s patronage and assistance in establishing many cultural, artistic, and educational institutions worldwide, in an admirable effort to impart knowledge and culture to humanity.
