The Francophonie
The Francophonie
In 1880, French
geographer Onésime Reclus coined the term "Francophonie"
to denote all peoples and countries using French in a variety
of circumstances. Canada's involvement in The
Francophonie highlights the country's linguistic duality
and supports and promotes Canada's French-speaking community.
Internationally, The Francophonie is a natural sphere of influence
for Canada. The Francophonie is also a multilateral forum
for cooperation and dialogue in which Canada can use its influence
to promote the values its citizens wish to share. (Canada. Department
of Foreign Affairs and International Trade).
