HAVANA, Cuba, Sep 11 (ACN) Audrey Azoulay, director general of UNESCO, honored on Thursday the former historian of Havana, PhD Eusebio Leal, for his commendable work in the restoration and preservation of the heritage.
The tribute was made during her speech at the Virtual High Level Dialogue about the impact and challenges of the COVID-19 in Latin America and the Caribbean, UNESCO's office in Cuba said on Twitter.
UNESCO's director urged those responsible for heritage care to work to ensure such centers meet the needs of the younger generation and regretted the negative impact of the pandemic on most museums in the region.
