The Francophonie

In 1880, French geographer Onésime Reclus coined the term "Francophonie" to denote all peoples and countries using French in a variety of circumstances. Canada's involvement in The Francophonie highlights the country's linguistic duality and supports and promotes Canada's French-speaking community. Internationally, The Francophonie is a natural sphere of influence for Canada. The Francophonie is also a multilateral forum for cooperation and dialogue in which Canada can use its influence to promote the values its citizens wish to share. (Canada. Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade).
