France has reached a historic autonomy deal with New Caledonia, declaring it a “State of New Caledonia” within the French Republic. The agreement grants the territory its own nationality and control over foreign policy, with the option to vote on further sovereignty powers like defence and justice. While falling short of full independence sought by many Indigenous Kanaks, the deal aims to resolve tensions after 2024 unrest and includes plans for economic recovery and nickel industry renewal.
