The Games of La Francophonie, which are currently taking place in Kinshasa, go far beyond a simple sporting or cultural event. They offer the opportunity to strengthen ties between the various participating countries, as evidenced by the meeting between the DRC and Canada.
On the sidelines of this event, the DRC Ambassador to Canada organized a diplomatic dinner in honor of the Canadian delegation. This event was the ideal opportunity to consolidate the friendly relations between the two countries.
The DRC’s ambassador to Canada, Joska Kabongo, stressed the importance of this exchange: “It is quite normal that on the sidelines of these Games of La Francophonie, we can organize this diplomatic dinner which allowed us to discuss a number of issues that concern our countries. This circumstance was created for rapprochement between the partners.”
He also recalled that the DRC and Canada have maintained good relations since the independence of the African country. This meeting was therefore an opportunity to strengthen these historical ties.
For his part, the Canadian ambassador to the DRC, Pierre Benoît, welcomed this initiative: “It was a great moment of sharing. We discussed our priorities in the context of bilateral relations between the DRC and Canada.”
During the diplomatic dinner, many topics were discussed, including the strengthening of cooperation between the two countries and the prospects for the development of sports disciplines.
This event demonstrates the importance of the Games of La Francophonie as a platform for rapprochement and collaboration between the participating countries. Beyond the sporting and cultural competition, these games make it possible to create solid and lasting links between the French-speaking nations.
In conclusion, the Games of La Francophonie are much more than just an event, they are a catalyst for international relations and a means of strengthening ties between the participating countries, as evidenced by the diplomatic dinner between the DRC and Canada
