Question 26166 — overseas

Summary

Mrs Josette Manin questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs on cultural and influence diplomacy. This public policy, of which France is one of the precursors, aims to export a representation of national culture and to interact with other countries. The main idea is that France can shine as a “great intellectual power” in the world. Among the representations of the French Republic, there are territories geographically distant from the Old Continent. Mm the MP is obviously talking about overseas, part of which is in the Caribbean. The first frontiers and vanguard of France, and of Europe in this part of the world, the Caribbean territories of France are imbued with an exceptional multi-culturality which draws its history from the West, Asia, Africa and America. Which makes it a powerful showcase of the cultural mix that exists in the country, particularly with music, gastronomy and Creole, to name just a few. What is his view on cultural specificities and how can we contribute to their export? She asks him if he thinks that Creole can be a good tool for cultural diplomacy in this region which has more than 10 million French speakers and French-speaking Creoles.
