Within the framework of the 7th. Arab Week organized by the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics, Dr. Nuria Sanz, representative of the UNESCO office in Mexico, said that so far 14 mosques have been rebuilt in Syria since the beginning of the conflict in 2011.

The Mexican "Arab Week" has the purpose of showcasing Latin America's research on the region and showing a "de-orientalized" view of the Middle East that contributes to a critical debate.
