Macron says has ‘immense pride’ in New Caledonia vote for France

French President Emmanuel Macron expresses his “immense pride” that voters in the Pacific territory of New Caledonia had voted to remain part of France in a referendum.

“I must express firstly my immense pride that we have taken this historic step together,” he said in an address to the nation. “I also want to express my pride as the head of state that the majority of Caledonians have chosen France: it’s a sign of confidence in the French republic, in its future and its values.”
