Québec is a member
of the Organisation internationale
de la Francophonie (OIF) and the
World Road Association (PIARC). It
maintains relations with other
international organizations that
operate in exclusive Québec areas of
jurisdiction and those that it
shares. It works in collaboration
with Canadian authorities as regards
these international organizations,
thereby extending its domestic
responsibilities to the
international stage.
In addition,
participation by departments and
organizations of the Government
of Québec in multilateral
organizations makes it possible
to benefit from highly
profitable contact with foreign
specialists and to spread the
word on Québec’s programs,
achievements and know-how.
The Ministère des Relations
internationales also coordinates
participation in multilateral forums
of special interest to Québec by
having its own representatives
within Canadian delegations.
The areas of
particular interest to Québec
and their corresponding
international organizations and
committees are the following (international organizations that have either a branch office or head office in Québec are marked with an asterisk):
Aboriginal issues
Alimentation and Agriculture
Cultural heritage and identity in the Latin world
Culture, education and identity
Economic and social development
Health
Human rights
The information society
Labour and employment
Safety and transport
Summits, conferences and international working groups
