Subject: Continued Relations and Status of Forces in New Caledonia
Your Excellency,
First of all, I have been asked by the Empress to once again relay our gratitude for your help in quelling the insurrection in New Caledonia. Now that a general quiet has returned and with the presence of significant numbers of French military and security personnel, the Ministry of the Armed Forces believes it can re-assume sole security responsibilities and is returning command authority to the Commander, New Caledonia (COMNOUCAL) Brigadier General Alix Germain, also in part to address local opposition to the continued presence of multiple non-Kanak military structures.
To guarantee an orderly transition and to make sure that both the logistical and political needs of Poland are addressed in this matter as well I would like to invite you and your military attaché to meet with me and my liaison to the Ministry of the Armed Forces Colonel Anne-Marie Masson at the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
Beyond the practical matters involving Polish forces on the island, after concluding those discussions and without our military experts present I would also like to discuss the continued relations between France and Poland, and how we might continue them as two ideologically like-minded Catholic European powers. The Empress also intends to like French personnel award Polish personnel involved in operations in New Caledonia honours and we would like to discuss the practicalities of those and if there are any specific concerns from Poland that Versailles needs to keep in mind for those.
Sincerely,
Sophie Dubois,
Ministre de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères,
