  The SCRRE organizes its activity around four core missions:

 

  • The "Multilateral Cooperation" Division coordinates the activities of New Caledonia within the international and regional organizations of which it is a member (SPC, PIF, SPREP ...) as well as the involvement of other territorial institutions in these intergovernmental organizations.
  • The "Bilateral Cooperation" Division coordinates and develops cooperation actions with Pacific Countries and Territories. This bilateral cooperation can take the form of links with developed Pacific countries and territories, which inscribe themselves in a “North - North» rationale (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc.). It may also consist of cooperative actions for developing countries and territories in the Pacific, with the aim of consolidating cultural and human relations as well as development aid. The SCRRE also coordinates the network of delegates which formally represent New Caledonia in some sovereign states in the Pacific region. . New Caledonia is the only French Collectivity to have such a network at its disposal.
  • The "Economic Cooperation and Trade" Division provides transversal monitoring and manages the operational implementation of economic and commercial issues and policies.

It also monitors New Caledonia’s free trade agreements and economic partnerships in the Pacific. The division also has an export unit that implements economic diplomacy coordinates export-related public policies and links the different institutions.
