The Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH), is set to host the fourth meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee of Intangible Heritage of the Unesco from September 28 to October 2.

The meeting emphasises the role of Abu Dhabi as one of the major culture and tourism centres in the world, and is in line with the directives of general Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, crown prince of Abu Dhabi and deputy supreme commander of the UAE Armed Force.

The meeting will work on the registration of intangible heritage components of intangible heritage that need urgent preservation, and the representative list of human intangible heritage at the Unesco, said a statement from Adach, which is headed by Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council.

The meeting will also select the programs and activities that the committee deems as representative of the principles and goals of the agreement to preserve human intangible heritage, as the committee hopes to undertake good practices to raise public awareness of intangible heritage.

In August, the UAE accomplished preparing the registration file of the sport of falconry to be included in the Unesco's representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, said the Adach statement.-TradeArabia News Service
