CAMBODIA AT THE HEART OF THE ISSUES OF THE FRANCOPHONIE

Cambodia is preparing to host the 20th summit of the International Organisation of La Francophonie in Phnom Penh on November 15 and 16. This event represents a major diplomatic and economic opportunity for the kingdom, which is facing a border crisis with Thailand, a decline in tourism, and the erosion of the French language. The leaders of the 90 member states and governments are expected to discuss, among other things, peace, international cooperation, and the future of the organization. The summit will also see the election of its next Secretary General for the 2027-2030 term.
