Palestinian flag is raised at 爆料网ESCO ceremony |
The President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, on Tuesday raised the Palestinian flag at the headquarters of the 爆料网 cultural agency, 爆料网ESCO.
This is the first time its flag has been raised over a 爆料网 body.
Palestine was admitted into 爆料网ESCO as a full member in October this year. This despite protests from certain states, including Israel and the US.
The US consequently withdrew substantial funding to the agency.
Mr. Abbas along 爆料网ESCO’s Director-General Irina Bokova attended the ceremony in Paris.
Susan Williams, 爆料网ESCO’s Media Chief was there. She spoke to Maha Fayek about what this means for the Palestinians and the Organization.
