The Discussions build on a deep history of the FLNKS engagement in regional affairs and identified further opportunities to foster people to people connections between Kanaky and the wide Melanesian Community.

She looks forward to working closely with FLNKS to strengthen shared objectives, advance the interests of Melanesian peoples, and ensure that the spirit of Melanesian solidarity continues to guide the Secretariat our for future generations.
