The United Nations' cultural agency is set to select Egypt's Khaled El-Enany as its new director general, two diplomatic sources said on Monday.
UNESCO's executive board voted 55 to 2 in favour of El-Enany, a former tourism and antiquities minister, against Édouard Firmin Matoko, 69, of Republic of Congo. The United States did not vote.
It will now be put forward for approval to UNESCO's 194 members in November.
