Just plain "interface" would be the best English,
Explanation:
possibly with "point of interface" as an alternative.

However, in keeping with the somewhat fatuous tone -- "my mission"(!) -- of this individual's CV, how about "interface nexus" or "nexial interface" between purchasing departments in France and XXXX platforms in Asia?

Cheers and an evil grin,
HC
