    Ali Abdullah Al Ahmed, the UAE’s Ambassador to France and permanent delegate to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, UNESCO, has emphasised the importance of the restoration of the monuments project in Mosul city, Iraq, the most important of which is the Great Mosque of Al Nouri and its Al Hadba Minaret, indicating that it represents a cultural and historical legacy of human civilisation.

    In an interview with a radio station, Al Ahmed said that the project began in 2018 as part of plans to revive the city of Mosul, and there is a Joint Steering Committee consisting of 16 members representing the Iraqi Government and the relevant authorities in Iraq, UNESCO, and other experts.
