Former French Culture Minister Jack Lang said Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni (the Egyptian nominee to the post of UNESCO Director General) has a great chance to win the post.

He added that the French Administration "sympathizes with everything related to Egypt" pointing out that Minister Farouk Hosni is practically better, especially if we took into consideration the future role of the organization in preserving heritage and cultures dialogue.

Lang said some other European culture ministers back the Egyptian nominee due to the cultural role Egypt plays.
