UN French Language Day is celebrated on March 20, highlighting the significance of multilingualism, cultural diversity, and education. This day commemorates the creation of the Agency for Cultural and Technical Cooperation (ACCT) in 1970, which later became the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF). The OIF plays a vital role in promoting the French language and cultural cooperation across its 88 member states. The celebration emphasizes the role of education in sustainable development and global peace, contributing to the broader goals of multilingualism within the UN.
