Q. New Caledonia, recently in news, is an overseas territory of which country?
Answer:
France
Notes: The Socialist Kanak National Liberation Front (FLNKS) in New Caledonia urged French President Emmanuel Macron to drop the electoral reform plan. New Caledonia, a French territory in the South Pacific, was colonized in 1853. The Kanaks, native to the island, became a minority due to French migration, leading to an independence movement. Despite referendums favoring French control, tensions persist. The island is strategically significant for France, rich in natural resources like nickel.
