New Caledonia is looking to Australia for aid to help rebuild its capital city after deadly riots.
The French territory was marred by civil unrest and riots that left 10 dead in May after controversial voting reforms were passed in Paris and the Indigenous Kanak people expressed concerns about their voice being drowned out.
New Caledonia believed it was eligible for the Australian infrastructure financing facility for the Pacific following the unrest, its representative to Australia Yves Lafoy said.
