The Secretary-General of the International Organization of La Francophonie,
Dear young compatriots,
In my address to you at this same time last year, I gave you a glimpse of our renewed economic growth and, of course, positive job creation prospects. Well, this recovery was confirmed in the course of last year. There are statistics to prove it.
Mr Chairman of the Conference,
Heads of State, Government and Delegation,
The Secretary-General of the International Organization of La Francophonie,
