France's President Emmanuel Macron is hosting a summit in Paris with leaders from New Caledonia to discuss the territory's future, following stalled negotiations between pro-independence and anti-independence politicians. The summit aims to address key issues, including economic concerns and the future of nickel resources. The region has faced unrest due to voting rights for non-indigenous residents, resulting in violence and significant damage. Previous referendums on independence have shown a preference to remain part of France, but pro-independence groups continue to push for autonomy.
