Vietnam
praises the International Organisation of the Francophone (OIF) and its
Secretary General for their efforts to help some member nations deal with
conflicts and crises.
Vietnamese Assistant to Foreign Minister
Nguyen Ngoc Son made the statement at the 27th OIF Ministerial Conference that
was held in Paris from December 1-2.
Chaired by President and Foreign Minister of
Switzerland Micheline Calmy-Rey, the conference attracted the participation of
representatives from 56 member countries of OIF and 19 observing countries.
Speaking at the conference, Son said that the
OIF should continue promoting its strength to support countries in the
post-crisis period, focusing on reconstruction and eliminating risks caused by
crises and conflicts. It should also coordinate with relevant regional and
international organisations to improve efficiency of its activities as well as
consolidate its role and position in the international arena.
Participants at the meeting reviewed the
implementation of the commitments made at the 13 th Francophone Summit in
Montenegro in October 2010 and affirmed their determination to realise these
commitments in the time to come, aiming to further promote multilateral
Francophone cooperation in different fields.
The conference discussed preparations for the
13 th Francophone Summit, slated for Kinshasa of Congo from October 12-14,
2012.
On the sidelines of the conference, the
Vietnamese delegation had bilateral working sessions with the IOF Director and
leaders of some OIF’s member countries and heads of delegations for discussing
measures to foster bilateral cooperation ties between Vietnam and the
countries.
At the sessions, the countries’ leaders and
friends highly valued Vietnam’s role and contribution to OIF, expressing their
hope to further strengthen cooperation with Vietnam in the fields of economics,
agriculture, mining, wood trade, telecom infrastructure and training.
Son told the Vietnam News Agency’s
correspondent in Paris that OIF Secretary General Clement Duhaime will visit
Vietnam in January 2012 to accelerate some cooperative projects between OIF and
Vietnam.
