CFI Focus? This is a new newsletter on Canal France International which has refocused all its activities on audiovisual cooperation aimed at emerging countries in 4 zones: Africa, which is our priority, but also the Arab World, Asia and countries in Central and Eastern Europe.

With short articles and interviews, CFI Focus seeks to be a regular link between the numerous partners of Canal France International, a link that provides clear and simple information on cooperation (training seminars, expert assessment missions, etc.) and on the programmes (films, drama, news programmes, sporting events, etc.) that CFI offers to all its partners the world over, that is to say over 100 television stations in 84 different countries.

Working in close collaboration with the cultural and the technical cooperation staff from the French Foreign Ministry in the field, I am convinced that CFI, with the strength and the support of its new shareholders, France Télévisions and ARTE, will take off with strong motivation and success the challenges that are now facing it in the field of audiovisual cooperation and solidarity.
