YEREVAN, October 11 /ARKA/. The death of the world famous French singer Charles Aznavour has rallied the entire French-speaking world, said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking today at the opening of the 17th Francophonie Summit in the Armenian capital Yerevan.
In his words, Aznavour was and is loved by the entire Francophonie world. 'Aznavour was able to thoroughly see the whole palette of our language and culture. I see the same thing here today,” said Trudeau, noting that the 17th Francophone Summit, thanks to the memory of the great singer, is filled with the spirit of unity and cohesion.
The Prime Minister of Canada emphasized that the International Organization of the Francophonie is a special platform where all its member countries can hear each other.
“Together we were able to create a platform where we are guided by the principle of mutual respect, where all countries can develop together, hear each other in French. But we must consolidate not only around the language, but also around the future that we must build together” he said.
According to Trudeau, the summit is taking place in the most important period for humanity, which obliges all to revise all the slogans of living together in the name of overcoming new challenges.
“Many consider themselves to be removed from globalization; some nations even consider themselves to be deprived of the attention of the modern world. However, no country, regardless of religious or other affiliation, can succeed without general participation. In this case, Francophone countries are examples of collectivity, for five out of ten rapidly developing countries are Francophone,” he said.
In this context, the Prime Minister of Canada noted the importance of African countries in the OIF.
“Today, Africa is the driving force for Francophonie in view of the rate of population growth and development. And our responsibility is to create the necessary environment for equal conditions of education and success for all our young people,” he said, recalling that Canada is actively involved in resolving conflicts on the African continent and eliminating their consequences.
In this context, Trudeau said that Canada will be a long-term partner of African countries. “Canada will continue to defend the values of Francophonie, which are to protect human rights,” he said. -0-
