New Caledonia's pro-independence Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS) announced on Tuesday that it would not attend the meeting on the institutional future of the French archipelago in the South Pacific, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday in Paris.
Announced in December by Macron, this meeting aimed to "provide clarifications" on the so-called Bougival Agreement, which notably provides for the creation of a New Caledonian state enshrined in the French Constitution.
