President Emmanuel Macron is set to hold talks with leaders from New Caledonia to discuss the territory's future after deadly violence rocked the region last year. The planned discussions, which will include various stakeholders, are intended to cover significant issues of autonomy, economic growth, and societal challenges faced by the indigenous Kanak population. The recent unrest stemmed from fears around voting rights given to non-indigenous residents, raising concerns of potential marginalization for the Kanaks, who have long resisted French governance. The outcome of these talks could shape New Caledonia's political landscape.
President Emmanuel Macron has invited New Caledonian leaders to discussions next week to address pressing issues, including autonomy, economic policies and societal matters in light of recent unrest.
Unrest in New Caledonia erupted after France proposed voting rights for long-term non-indigenous residents, escalating concerns among Kanaks about their status and potential oppression in their own land.
