France plans New Caledonia self-rule referendum in 2018 (BBC)
The French Pacific territory of New Caledonia will hold a referendum on self-rule next year, under a deal reached with the French government.
New Caledonian leaders held nine hours of talks with French ministers in Paris on Thursday. The political agreement could pave the way for independence.
November 2018 is the deadline for the vote. New Caledonia, east of Australia, has about 275,000 inhabitants.
In the 1980s there were clashes between French forces and indigenous Kanaks.
