Relationship context
Overview
Fiji supported New Caledonia’s regional integration, including its full membership in the Melanesian Spearhead Group in 2006. New Caledonia is a French territory with limited authority over foreign relations, and information about its government’s direct cooperation with Fiji is insufficient to assess that relationship.
Key developments
New Caledonia became a full member of the Melanesian Spearhead Group, with Fiji supporting its regional integration.
Major uncertainties
- The scope of direct cooperation between New Caledonia’s government and Fiji is unclear.
- New Caledonia’s authority over external relations is limited by its status within France.
