PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron denounced “new imperialism” in the Indo-Pacific on Thursday as he pledged France would boost its presence in the region to defend the sovereignty of smaller states.“In the Indo-Pacific, and particularly in Oceania, a new imperialism is appearing, and a power logic that is threatening the sovereignty of several states, the smallest, often the most fragile,” Macron said in a speech in Vanuatu.
