France has raised concerns over Azerbaijan's alleged interference in New Caledonia through a social media campaign, sparking tensions between the two nations.
The French government has accused Azerbaijan of attempting to influence the political landscape in New Caledonia by spreading misinformation and propaganda on various social media platforms.
According to French officials, the social media campaign orchestrated by Azerbaijan is aimed at destabilizing the region and undermining the upcoming referendum in New Caledonia.
New Caledonia, a French overseas territory in the Pacific, is set to hold a referendum on independence from France. The outcome of the referendum is crucial for the future political status of the region.
France has condemned Azerbaijan's actions as a violation of New Caledonia's sovereignty and has called for an immediate halt to the social media campaign.
The French government has also urged the international community to take action against Azerbaijan's interference in New Caledonia and to respect the region's right to self-determination.
Azerbaijan has denied the allegations of meddling in New Caledonia and has stated that it respects the sovereignty of all nations.
The escalating tensions between France and Azerbaijan over the issue have raised concerns about the potential impact on the stability and security of New Caledonia.
As the situation continues to unfold, both France and Azerbaijan are closely monitoring developments in New Caledonia and are working to address the diplomatic fallout from the social media campaign.
It remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the allegations of interference in New Caledonia and what impact it will have on the upcoming referendum in the region.
