Located in the South Pacific Ocean, away from the east coast of Queensland, Australia 1500 km. It belongs to Melanesia. It consists of New Caledonia, Loyal and uninhabited chesterfield. The main island, New Caledonia, is a long and narrow island. The rugged mountains divide the island into two parts, east and west, and there is almost no flat land. It has a tropical grassland climate, with an average annual temperature of 24℃ and a rainy season from June to March in 65438. The annual precipitation in the eastern region is 2000mm, and that in the western region is1000mm.

The first district committee was established in 1956. 1976 12 established a government committee, which enjoys partial autonomy in handling internal affairs. The governor appointed by France was changed to High Commissioner, and Sinca had two representatives in the French National Assembly and one representative in the Senate. 1979 the French government dissolved the government Committee and placed new Cameroon under the direct rule of the French government. In the following years, the political parties in New Cameroon held many consultations with the French government on the independence of New Cameroon, but failed to find an effective solution. 198612February, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution, and Xinca was included in the list of UN Non-Self-Governing Territories, thus confirming that residents of Xinca enjoyed the right to autonomy. 1In June 1988, the Partido Paz (National Union for the Defence of Caledonia) and the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front signed the Matignon Agreement with France in Paris. According to the agreement, one year later, the new Cameroon will implement limited local autonomy; New Cameroon established three autonomous provinces of North, South and Loyal, and held a referendum in 1998 to decide whether the new Cameroon was independent. 1since July 1999, France has gradually transferred most of its power to three newly elected provincial councils. ?

[Edit this paragraph] Politics

1From May to June, 1997, elections for members of the French National Assembly were held on the island. Due to the boycott of organizations demanding independence, such as FLNKS, few people participated in the voting, and both representatives were elected by members of the National Union for the Defence of Caledonia. ?

1998 On April 2 1, the French government reached a political agreement with the Front de libé ration nationale kanak socialiste (FLNKS) and the National Union for the Defence of Caledonia in Noumé a on the future status of the island. The main contents are as follows: France gradually handed over the powers of education, taxation, foreign trade and transportation to new Cameroon, but still retained the departments of national defense, justice and police; In the next 15~20 years, new Cameroon will hold an independent referendum. If three-fifths of the people choose independence, France will hand over the remaining power. If independence is rejected, two more votes can be held in the next four years. If independence is rejected in the second vote, the future of the islands will be renegotiated. Recognition of "French * * and domestic New Caledonian citizenship", if the islands choose independence in the future, this identity will become "nationality". On May 5th, French Prime Minister Jospin signed the above agreement in Noumé a with leaders of various factions who supported and opposed the independence of the new Cameroon. 1998165438+1On 8 October, New Cameroon held a referendum on the Noumé a Accord. The agreement was passed with 765,438+0.9% votes, because two opposing political forces called on voters to vote for the agreement. The independents believe that the agreement laid the foundation for the independence of the new Cameroon, while the anti-independents claim that the new Cameroon "will never be independent". Public opinion generally believes that the adoption of this agreement is conducive to the future social stability of new Cameroon.

Nickel mining and tourism are two major economic pillars. Major industrial products and grain need to be imported. The nickel mining industry was influenced by the political turmoil in the 1980s and the price fluctuation in the international market in the 1990s, which restricted the economic development of New Cameroon. 1998 in the Asian financial crisis, the industry suffered a more serious impact, resulting in a sharp drop in demand for nickel products, 300 workers were dismissed by the nickel mine association, causing riots among severely hit miners. The Noumé a Accord 1998+0 1 adopted by referendum in June will face up to the reality that France has gradually transferred various powers to the islands, so as to improve the economic situation of Kanaks and enhance their participation in economic and social management functions. Despite the above commitment to stabilize the new Cameroonian society, in the late 1990s, the indigenous people were still largely excluded from the economic and political society, and most of them lived in poverty and hardship. 1In mid-1999, Fleur, President of the National Alliance for the Defence of Caledonia, proposed to set up an inter-provincial economic development committee, so that the richer southern provinces could help the economic development of other provinces. 1At the end of 1999, a joint development team composed of France and Australia announced the discovery of abundant natural gas in Xinka, and it is expected to find a considerable amount of oil reserves. In 2002-2004, it is expected that two more nickel mines will be built in Xinka, which will greatly increase nickel production. 1990-2000, the new card economy grew at an average annual rate of 1.6%.
