Quebec's newly elected Parti Québécois government will have a say in choosing the next leader of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, which will be announced on November 16 at the end of the 20th Francophonie Summit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Four candidates, including three African women and one European man, are vying for the position of secretary-general. The organization, founded in 1970, aims to promote the French language, diversity, education, peace, democracy, and human rights. Canada, a founding member, contributed $43 million to the organization in 2025-26, making it the second-largest contributor after France.
