Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is headed to France today to attend the Francophonie summit, where the shadow of a wider war in the Middle East will likely loom large over the meeting of French-speaking countries.
The summit, which happens every two years, will be held Thursday and Friday in Villers-Cotterêts and Paris. France is taking over the presidency of the Francophonie from Tunisia and says the summit's theme will be to "create, innovate and do business in French". Leaders are expected to discuss ways to promote the French language, address geopolitical challenges, ensure the digital space reflects their linguistic and cultural diversity and increase economic ties between countries.
