Russia withdraws from UN World Tourism Organization
The UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) confirmed on Wednesday that Russia intends to leave this agency, according to the organization’s Twitter page.
"Russia has announced its intention to withdraw from UNWTO. It must follow due process - and this will take a year to complete," the organization specified.
The UNWTO explained that the organization’s extraordinary General Assembly that began in Madrid on Wednesday where it was planned to vote on the possible suspension of Russia’s membership would continue.
On March 8, the organization’s executive council that convened on the requests of several members against the background of the situation in Ukraine made a decision to hold the General Assembly.
