Trudeau is scheduled to talk about AI Friday morning, while leaders will hold a session on challenges for French-speaking citizens in the digital age in the afternoon.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to participate in a discussion on artificial intelligence in France on Friday, as the Francophonie summit begins.
Trudeau’s talk on AI is scheduled for Friday morning, while in the afternoon, leaders will focus on the challenges faced by French-speaking populations in the digital age.
French President Emmanuel Macron, hosting this year’s summit of French-speaking nations, will welcome leaders to Villers-Cotterêts and later host an official dinner.
The escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has implications for Lebanon, a member of the Organisation de la Francophonie, is also expected to be a significant topic of discussion.
On Thursday, the Israeli military warned residents to evacuate a city and communities in southern Lebanon, just north of a UN buffer zone, indicating a potential expansion of its ground operation against Hezbollah.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said she plans to speak with Lebanon’s information minister during the summit and will meet her French counterpart to discuss ways to promote peace and stability in the Middle East.
