According to a press release of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent to AGERPRES on Tuesday, UNESCO's role on the international stage continues to be as relevant after almost 77 years since the establishment of the organization, continuing to contribute to addressing the new challenges to peace, by facilitating cooperation in the field of education, science and culture.

The decision represents a reconfirmation of the universality of this specialized institution of the UN system and will contribute to the consolidation of effective multilateralism and the global order based on norms and centered on the UN, which Romania wants to fully share.
