La Francophonie is scheduled to hold it’s 48th edition of the Ministerial Conference at the Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel / Chroy Changvar International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
This Ministerial Conference on November 14 will bring together foreign ministers and government representatives from the International Organisation of La Francophonie’s (OIF) member states, governments, and observers.
According to organisers, the Ministerial Conference is a platform for preparing matters and formulating recommendations for the heads of state and government attending the upcoming 20th Francophonie Summit.
The conference deliberations will largely focus on “Reinvesting in Peace for Shared Prosperity and Sustainable Stability”.
In preparation for key documents Ministers will tomorrow finalise core texts for summit adoption, including the Phnom Penh Declaration, a resolution on peacebuilding and crisis resolution, and the Phnom Penh Appeal for cultural heritage and diversity.
What about candidates for the organisation’s secretary General slot?
The Ministerial conference will feature candidate presentations and closed-door deliberations for the election of the OIF Secretary-General, alongside reviews of institutional and financial governance.
As member states of la Francophonie seek to intergrade technology, ministers at the conference tomorrow will seek to coordinate economic initiatives, supporting parallel gatherings such as FrancoTech 2026 (covering AI, digital governance, fintech, and food security) and the Francophone Entrepreneurs Forum.
