Louma announced there will be a new FLNKS representative at the MSG headquarters in Port Vila, Vanuatu, saying he’d decided to “re-establish the FLNKS unit within the @MSGSecretariat. To this end, I have released the necessary budget to put this office in place again."

With FLNKS as a full MSG member, Louma met President of #NewCaledonia Louis Mapou at the Congress. Louma confirmed that "if the choice of the #FLNKS today is to seek a new referendum on self-determination, the MSG can intervene to support and accompany" the independence movement.
