French Environment Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher will stay away from the Cop29 global climate change conference in Baku after "unacceptable" attacks by Azerbaijan's President, Ilham Aliyev.
Aliyev had accused France of “crimes” and “human rights violations” in overseas territories including New Caledonia in the South Pacific, where 13 people have been killed this year in protests that broke out in May over a contested voting reform.
