Two months from now, the new Secretary General of the International Organization of la Francophonie (OIF) will be elected on October 11 and 12, during the Yerevan summit. The position is being campaigned between Incumbent Secretary General of La Francophonie Michaëlle Jean and Rwanda’s Louise Mushikiwabo.
Via its official twitter wall, Armenia’s Foreign Ministry tweeted “On 22 and 24 August, Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs @LMushikiwabo (Louise Mushikiwabo) will visit Armenia. During the visit, negotiations between the Foreign Ministers of #Armenia; @ZMnatsakanyan (Zohrab Mnatsakanyan) and #Rwanda are planned.

In a recent Interview with AFP, Mushikiwabo, said that she believes the OIF “could do much more” in influencing issues on the international scene. Among her ideals, Rwanda’s Foreign Minister seeks to prioritize peace, security and promotion of the youth among others.
