A new state will appear on the world map

In the suburbs of Paris, they signed an agreement on the creation of the state of New Caledonia, partially dependent on France. This was announced by Emmanuel Macron.

It is known that the negotiations with the participation of representatives of New Caledonia, according to him, lasted ten days.

As Politico writes, the document provides for the creation of a new state, partially dependent on France.

The inhabitants of New Caledonia will receive a separate citizenship and can be holders of two passports.

In addition, the new state may be given the authority to conduct its own international policy.

The agreement was a compromise between factions, some of which were in favor of full independence for New Caledonia and the other part against it.

In the end, they agreed on the status of autonomy. Now the document must be approved in the French Parliament and at a referendum in New Caledonia.

New Caledonia is an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean that France has owned since the mid-19th century.

In 2018, 2020, and 2021, referendums on independence were held there, which ended in favor of keeping the islands as part of France.
