| Summary / Abstract (Note) | International Affairs: We met with you more than one year ago. What is your assessment of the results of UNESCO activities since that time?
E. Mitrofanova: 2011 was a year of challenges posed to the whole world and UNESCO. Global changes were rapid and irregular, and international relations once again were following a bumpy path.

At the same time, UNESCO preserved its status of the international platform with the biggest number of countries represented in it-195. |
