PARIS - The United States on Friday rejoined Unesco, which it had quit during the Trump administration, despite opposition from Russia and China.
“It is so important for us to rejoin, to be part of this very very important multilateral organisation,” Ms Denise Bauer, the US ambassador to France told AFP.Dissenting voices included Iran, Syria, China, North Korea and Russia, whose delegates appeared to be trying to delay the vote through several statements on procedure and amendments.
Several member states also expressed satisfaction with the result. Until the suspension of its contributions in 2011 – the US paid about 22 per cent of Unesco’s budget, or US$75 million . “I very much believe we should be back in Unesco – again, not as a gift to Unesco, but because things that are happening at Unesco actually matter,” Mr Blinken told a Senate committee when he presented the budget.
