It will continue the work that the Alexander Dumas French Cultural Centre and Culture and Cooperation Service of the French Embassy have continued to supervise, particularly, the promotion of the French language, training for teachers of French language, holding events within the Francophone Days and collaboration in the sphere of art and other cultural areas.
