PARIS, Nov. 12, 2021 \/PRNewswire\/ — During a week-long visit to France, His Highness Prince Badr\u00a0bin Abdullah bin Farhan\u00a0Al-Saud, Saudi Minister of Culture, met with his counterpart Roselyne Bachelot, French Minister of Culture, Director-General of UNESCO, Audrey Azoulay, and several other French cultural leaders and institutions.<\/p>\n

Prince Badr addressed the UNESCO General Conference: “We congratulate UNESCO on its seventy-fifth anniversary, which the Kingdom has been a part of since the beginning\u00a0as a founder member. Saudi Arabia is committed to working with UNESCO, and its members, in the efforts to unleash the power of culture.”<\/p>\n

The day prior UNESCO and the Royal Commission for AlUla signed an agreement that will help preserve\u00a0the globally significant area, enabling it to become\u00a0a destination for heritage, nature, arts, and culture.\u00a0It builds on an existing partnership, through which over 100 French archaeologists and experts are currently working onsite.<\/p>\n

France and Saudi have a long history of ongoing cultural exchange. For example, fifty years\u00a0ago King Khalid helped\u00a0establish the Arab World Institute in Paris. In 2018, HRH Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud\u00a0made an official visit to France, meeting with President Emmanuel\u00a0Macron,\u00a0where a significant cultural agreement between the two countries was signed.<\/p>\n

The Kingdom is hosting a vibrant cultural program of over 100 cultural events, initiatives, and engagements\u00a0during the coming months, including Saudi Arabia’s first art biennale, Ad-Diriyah Biennale, and first major international film festival, the Red Sea International Film Festival, which will feature French classics.<\/p>\n
