Governor of New Caledonia

The Governor of New Caledonia is the representative of the French national government in the territory, acting as its chief executive officer. Appointed by France, the governor oversees the implementation of national policies, maintains order, and coordinates between local authorities and the French government. They play a key role in managing security, public administration, and ensuring that federal laws are enforced. While New Caledonia has its own local government and periodic independence discussions, the governor's authority primarily pertains to representing France's interests and overseeing the territory's compliance with national regulations.
