The first congress of the International Front of Decolonization, which includes the territories that were once French colonies, was held in Kanaky (New Caledonia) on January 23-24, APA reports.
According to the report, the congress was attended by parliamentarians, leaders of political parties, heads of non-governmental organizations, leaders of social movements and others fighting for the independence of New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Corsica.
Due to the fact that the representatives of the Baku Initiative Group were not granted visas to participate in the Congress, the organization participated in the work of the mentioned Congress online. In this regard, the Executive Director of the BIG, Abbas Abbasov, made a video-format speech at the Congress.
He recalled that the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, His Excellency Mr. Ilham Aliyev, has openly condemned the crimes committed against the Kanak people and expressed his support for the regions under colonization.
The Kanak people raised the Azerbaijani flag again in the capital city of Noumea as a sign of gratitude.
It should be noted that the International Front of Decolonization was established in Baku in July 2024 by representatives of the last French colonies with the support of the Baku Initiative Group.
