"Soyons unis, devenons frères" ("Let us unite, let us become brothers") is the officially recognised anthem of New Caledonia.

During official ceremonies or sports events, "La Marseillaise" is performed first, followed by "Soyons unis, devenons frères".

[1] In 1998, the Nouméa Accord delegated greater autonomy to the territory and provided that its people would ultimately have the right to vote for full independence, in 2014 at the earliest and in 2018 at the latest.

In the meantime, the Accord provided for the gradual recognition of five "identity signs": an anthem, a motto, local symbols on New Caledonian currency, a flag and a potential new name for the territory.

Ô terre aux multiples visages, Nord, Sud, Iles loyauté, Tes trois provinces sont l'image De ta grande diversité.

Oh land of multiple faces, North, South, Loyalty Islands, Your three provinces are the image Of your great diversity We, your children, resemble you Tempering our memory.
