The Francophonie summit will open on 4 October 2024 at the Cité internationale de la langue française, in Villers-Cotterêts, a place entirely dedicated to the French language and French-speaking cultures, inaugurated on 30 October 2023 by M. Emmanuel Macron, President of the Republic. The summit will continue in Paris on 5 October 2024.
The 19th Francophonie summit will be a major event diplomatically, politically, economically and culturally, with the French language as a common thread. In France, it will be one of the international high points of 2024, together with the organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
France and the OIF foster the ambition to promote a Francophonie that serves peoples, and to demonstrate its dynamics and opportunities.
