La Francophonie, H.E. Abdou Diouf. The forum will also
be featuring some very high-profile personalities,
eminent political leaders, decision-makers and members
of parliament, renowned businessmen, academics, media
figures and experts, as well as representatives of the
civil society and regional and international
organizations, who will contribute to a free, learned
and stimulating debate on each of the many topics on the
forum’s agenda, with a focus on the Arab Spring and the
global financial and economic crisis.
