The Francophonie of the future must be a primary tool for cooperation

During the pandemic, new borders were created, nationalism emerged and a digital culture was established that was useful but threatening to those who were not prepared. However, this ordeal has brought to light the great strength of the Francophonie: solidarity in diversity. In this post-Covid era, the Groupe des Ambassadeurs Francophone suggest that we build on this strength to move the Francophonie into the future, by reinforcing the use and teaching of French, defending linguistic and cultural diversity, and working for peace and democracy.
