France–Papua New Guinea relations : ウィキペディア英語版 | France–Papua New Guinea relations
France – Papua New Guinea relations refer to foreign relations between France and Papua New Guinea. Official diplomatic relations were established in 1976. France has an embassy in Port Moresby but Papua New Guinea has no diplomatic representation in France. Papua New Guinea's embassy in Brussels covers France. ==History== In 1768, French explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainville landed at what is now Papua New Guinea during his circumnavigation of the world. He gave his name to an island just to the east of New Guinea. In the 1870s and 1880s, the Marquis de Rays, a French nobleman, attempted to establish a French colony on New Ireland called New France.〔Ben Cahoon, "(Papua New Guinea )," ''World Statesmen.org'' (2000).〕 He sent four ill-fated expeditions to the island, the most famous of which caused the death of 123 settlers. In 1980, the new state of Vanuatu, formerly the New Hebrides, which had just that year declared independence from France, quelled an uprising with the help of forces from Papua New Guinea.〔(France and the South Pacific By Stephen Henningham, pg 42 )〕 Throughout the 1980s, Papua New Guinea remained highly critical of France due to France's commitment to testing nuclear explosions in the South Pacific. Papua New Guinea co-sponsored with Australia and New Zealand a scientific study of the Moruroa atoll in 1983, but distanced itself from the report when the results concluded that health and environmental risks from nuclear testing were negligible.〔(France and the South Pacific, By Stephen Henningham, pg 197 )〕
