A very important announcement, for a plague that remains open for Greece, the Parthenon Sculptures, was made by Unesco.
According to Unesco, Greece and Britain have responded to the organization's request to intensify their efforts so that they can come to the same table and talk about the return of the Parthenon Sculptures to where they belong, namely Athens.
Last September, UNESCO asked the UK to reconsider its stance and enter into dialogue with Greece. In 2021, UNESCO called on the UK to reconsider its stance and engage in a constructive dialogue with Greece. It is recalled that the issue was raised with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson by Kyriakos Mitsotakis in November 2021 with Johnson referring to the Museum and the Greek Prime Minister insisting that the issue is now a matter between the two governments.
On 29 April, British Culture Minister Stephen Parkinson sent a request to Unesco to organise a meeting with Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni. Mrs Mendoni immediately accepted and according to UNESCO, the date will be announced soon.
According to UNESCO, the possible reunification of the Parthenon Marbles was announced by the Intergovernmental Committee for Promoting the Return of Cultural Property to its Countries of Origin or its Restitution in case of Illicit Appropriation, or ICPRCP, which opened its 23rd session in Paris this week. According to UNESCO, the meeting, offered on April 29 by the United Kingdom, was accepted by Greece and will be arranged "in due course."
