Look around you! Where are you? Do you see any local interest whatsoever
in a French language conference?

If you were living in a French speaking society you probably would not
have even asked the question. It is simple, news sources report what their
audience wants to hear about. If there was a really slow news day, maybe you
might find something locally or even internationally, used filler for the
lack of more pressing news.

Myself I see nothing on this conference as well. Even though I would bet
you that Canada is participating (we historically have, so I assume that we
are this time also). Now if I lived in Quebec it would probably be in the
local papers and news broadcasts.

I just wonder WHY there is not much interest in the world media to
report on this 23rd francophone ministerial meeting in Vientiane?

Not much news around!
Does any one has the answer?

Pao

As you said, the answer is too simple. but in that meeting, based on
the reportin Viemntiane Time , Mr Soubanh Sritthirath, the head of the
Lao delegation to the 23 rd Ministerial Conference of French Speaking
Countries, said that there were "256 delegates from 64 countries and
seven international organisations had attended the conference; 22 of
the delegates were ministers. The Lao government also invited three
honourable delegations from China , Thailand and the Asean
Secretariat". If there are so many countries attending and there is
no interest to the major world media, does it mean that the meeting is
not really that important on global scale?

Sure... it is important to the Francohonie countries
http://www.fll.vt.edu/French/francophonie.html
and I would have expected that this group of countries, as a group,
must have some importances on the global scale...

Since Canada is part of theis group, Phi Dung Mo, you should be the
right person to fill us about this group since they are heading to
Quebec next. Is it so?
