Flag of the Congress - Image by Olivier Touzeau, 12 February 2025
The Congress of New Caledonia is prescribed by the Organic Law of 19
March 1999 on the organization of New Caledonia. The
Congress is the merging of the Provincial Assemblies elected in the
North, South and Loyauté Islands Provinces. One of the main changes
prescribed by the Law is the possibility given to the Congress to vote
local laws (lois de pays). For instance, the prescription of a local
flag would be made via such a law.
The Congress succeeded to the former Territorial Assembly (Assemblée
territoriale).

The Congress of New Caledonia has a white flag with the current logo, hoisted in front of the Congress building in Nouméa: photo.
The logo was adopted (at least) in 2012.

Former flag of the Congress - Image by Jaume Ollé, 28 March 2006
The flag of the Congress of New Caledonia is hoisted, along with the French national flag, in front of the Congress building in Nouméa. It can be seen transiently on the flash animation shown on the home page of the website of the Congress. As photographied there by Nozomi Karyasu, the flag is white with the emblem of the Congress.
The emblem of the Congress shows a conch with a French tricolor opening and a map of New Caledonia on the shell. The map shows the
three provinces represented in the Congress:
- dark blue: the North province, with the Belep islands
- light blue : the South province, with the Pines island
- yellow : the Loyauté islands (Ouvéa, Lifou, Tiga, Maré)
