President Nicuşor Dan is participating, on Sunday and Monday, in the 20th Francophonie Summit, organized in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where he is supporting Dacian Cioloş's candidacy for the position of Secretary General of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF), for the 2027–2030 term.

The head of state said that this candidacy represents a gain for Romania and contributes to raising the country's profile on the international stage. Nicuşor Dan believes that Dacian Cioloş is proposing “a credible and ambitious vision” for relaunching and developing the Francophone community.

According to the president, the former prime minister's project could strengthen Romania's influence in the Francophone sphere, its relations with member states, and cooperation in several areas of interest. He conveyed the message in a post published on Sunday, after being welcomed by the King of Cambodia, Norodom Sihamoni.

The summit brings together heads of state and government from the 53 full member countries of the OIF. The event is being held under the theme “Reinvesting in peace for shared prosperity and lasting stability,” while Cioloş's candidacy is being promoted by Romania during the international meetings.
