Themed "Reinvest in Peace for Shared Prosperity and Lasting Stability", the 20th Francophonie Summit serves as an important occasion for the Francophone community to bolster solidarity, hold discussions, and define cooperation priorities for the coming period, particularly peace, sustainable development, multilateralism, economic ties, education, language and culture, digital transformation, and response to global challenges.

As an active and responsible member of the Francophone community, Vietnam has made substantial contributions, helping deepen and expand cooperation within the grouping.
General Secretary and President To Lam’s attendance underscores Vietnam’s high regard and strong support for Cambodia as the host nation. It also provides an opportunity for the Vietnamese leader to meet with leaders from across the Francophone world, particularly African countries, to discuss major orientations for strengthening substantive and effective bilateral cooperation.- (VNA/VLLF)
