France's newly formed government, led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, has convened for the first time to address pressing issues, with a focus on budgetary concerns and migration policies. The government, composed of conservatives and centrists, aims to tackle these challenges amid growing public scrutiny. Additionally, the administration is expected to address the ongoing crisis in New Caledonia, a French overseas territory, which has been experiencing unrest. The new leadership will need to balance domestic priorities with international responsibilities.

France has a new government. Can it solve the New Caledonia crisis after months of deadly unrest?
New Caledonia became French in 1853 under Emperor Napoleon III, Napoleon’s nephew and heir. It became an overseas territory after World War II, with French citizenship granted to all Kanaks in 1957. The Pacific archipelago of about 300,000 people is 10 time zones ahead of Paris and known to tourists for its UNESCO World Heritage atolls and reefs.
