Today is International Francophonie Day
International Francophonie Day is on March 20, which is marked in all member countries in different ways.
The International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF) has a total of 57 regular member countries, including Albania, reports KosovaPress.
Gathering the 57 full members, the last three and 20 observers, this Organization already has 80 member states.
Meanwhile, the Republic of Kosovo has taken an important step within the International Organization of La Francophonie since 2018, raising its status from observer to associate member.
This organization gathers around itself a third of the UN member states that share the French language and culture, and 21 member states that have not yet recognized Kosovo's independence.
The current International Organization of Francophonie was formed in 2005, the fruit of the Agency for Cultural and Technical Cooperation (ACCT) in 1970, and later of the International Agency of Francophonie in 1998.
The term "Francophone" itself was born at the end of the XNUMXth century to name all the people and countries that use the French language.
