Among those arriving in Yerevan for the summit will be French president, Emanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister. Justion Trudeau.
Preparatory meetings for the summit opened on Sunday. The 105th session of the permanent council of La Francophonie convened in Yerevan to prepare the agenda of the summit.
This is the biggest international meeting ever held in Armenia, given the number of heads of state and government attending.
