Upon her arrival at Techo International Airport, El Mansouri was welcomed by Un Kheang, Secretary of State at Cambodia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and Morocco’s Ambassador to Thailand and Cambodia, Abderrahim Rahhaly.
Held under the theme “Reinvesting in Peace for Shared Prosperity and Lasting Stability,” the summit will bring together heads of state and government from the 90 member states and governments of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF). Discussions will focus on setting the Organisation’s strategic priorities and addressing key issues related to cooperation among French-speaking countries.
The meeting will also see the election of the next Secretary-General of La Francophonie, who will serve a four-year term covering 2027-2030.
As La Francophonie’s highest governing body, the summit also provides an opportunity to review the OIF’s activities and achievements. With one year remaining in the 2024-2027 programming cycle, leaders are expected to assess the results so far and discuss the Organisation’s role amid ongoing changes in the multilateral system.
At the end of the summit, heads of state and government are expected to adopt the Phnom Penh Declaration, along with several resolutions. They will also decide when and where the 21st Francophonie Summit, scheduled for 2028, will be held.
