Following his re-election as France’s President last month, Emmanuel Macron has announced that Lebanese-born politician Rima Abdul Malak will take up the role of minister of culture.
Serving as an advisor on culture and communications to Macron since 2017, Abdul Malak previously worked as head of contemporary music at the Institut Français from 2007 and as cultural advisor to Paris’s then mayor Bertrand Delanoë from 2012.
Following her appointment, Malak promised to “defend France’s cultural sovereignty” to reinforce the position of “French creation, the French language and French innovation in the digital ocean, and soon in the metaverse”.
Malak replaces Roselyne Bachelot who took up the post in July 2020 under the former prime minister Jean Castex.
