New Brunswick announced the launch of a strategy focused on economic development, education, immigration, and diplomatic relations with francophone Africa. Targeting Morocco, Ivory Coast, Benin, Cameroon, Senegal, and Tunisia, the province aims to boost international presence and foster partnerships in these high-growth regions. With 176 million people across 31 countries, francophone Africa presents significant opportunities for New Brunswick. The Department of Intergovernmental Affairs will coordinate the strategy, with support from key partners like Immigration NB, Université de Moncton, and local business associations.
