Turkey to host UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Istanbul next year

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has selected Turkey to host its 49th session in Istanbul in 2027. This decision was announced during the 48th session held in Busan, South Korea. The event will take place from June 27 to July 7, 2027, and Turkey will also assume the role of chair. Other nations including Armenia, Grenada, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Kuwait have been elected as vice-chairs. Turkey previously hosted the 40th session in 2016, which faced disruptions due to a failed coup attempt and was eventually moved to Paris.
