The three days of discussions in Paris, between the leaders of New Caledonia's political parties and the French Prime Minister Francois Fillion, is an attempt to resolve New Caledonia's ongoing political instability.
Over the last four months, four collegial governments have collapsed and one party has called for fresh general elections.
Former Australian Consul General in Noumea, Denise Fisher, told Radio Australia's Pacific Beat it does appear the protests have also been motivated with the public's dissatisfaction with the political process.
"If you want to move forward peacefully in New Caledonia, it depends on genuine inclusiveness of the range of views, both within the French and the pro-independence groups and between them and that is not an easy ask, but that is what the people of New Caledonia seem to be expecting," she said.
