  • [01] Greece officially member of Int' Francophony Organisation

    BUCHAREST (ANA-MPA/I. Randou) - Interior, Public Administration and Decentralisation Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos addressed the 11th summit of the International Francophony Organisation, that began here on Thursday, expressing the satisfaction of Athens over the proclamation of Greece as a full member of the Organisation.

    Pavlopoulos said that the Organisation "was created by the pen of geographer Onesime Reclus, to describe the lingual and cultural community that France had created with its colonies at that time. Consequently, the International Francophony Organisation has followed an impressive and positive course until our days."

    He further said that "today, it constitutes a permanent International Organisation whose dimensions and future promise a privileged interlocutor with prestige for all international organisations, particularly the UN and the European Union."

    The minister also said that "Greece is working for a strong dialogue between cultures and traditions. Thanks to its geographical position and our historic experience, we are placing particular attention on the sensitivities of all countries with which we come into contact."

    Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of summit, the interior minister underlined the significance of Greece's accession to the International Francophony Organisation, and to the "most important role which the organisation can play in this troubled world we live in."

    "The International Francophony Organisation has henceforth acquired great dimensions, it constitutes a particularly reliable interlocutor in all the international fora and to all international organisations and particularly in the United Nations and the European Union. This is why it can play another role. The role, henceforth, of an organisation which can help, so that the safeguarding of democracy, the protection of human rights and in parallel the consolidation of international peace, can exist," Pavlopoulos added.
