France as a (re) emerging partner in the Pacific Nic Maclellan State of the Pacific conference 2014 SSGM, ANU, June 2014

“We very much appreciate France’s presence in the Pacific. France is a stable democratic power which has considerable assets in the Pacific.…We think for a whole lot of reasons that France is a positive influence in the region, the French collectivities in the Pacific are part of the family and we want to reflect that by our engagement with them.” Richard Marles, Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific affairs, Tahiti-Pacifique magazine, August 2012.
