“We thank the Azerbaijani state for its support, and standing by us on our path to independence and our struggle against colonialism,” Chair of the New Caledonian Congress Committee on Infrastructure, Spatial Planning, Sustainable Development, Energy, Transport and Communications Naisseline Omayra said as she addressed the scientific conference on "New Caledonia: History, contemporary challenges and expected future”.
She noted that during rallies in New Caledonia, thousands of people flocked to the streets raising both Kanak and Azerbaijani flags together.
