The raising of issues of West Papua at the PIF has only made Indonesia look like the enemy of pacific island nations.
This is from the Indonesian vice Minister for Foreign Affairs at the 27th Pacific Islands Forum Post- Forum Dialogue Partners Preliminary Session this week. He says during the discussions, at no time the issue of economic and development progress made possible with the help of Indonesia in the province of Papua was raised. In terms of human rights issues, Indonesia as a democratic country has a working national mechanism and a national commission on Human Rights, which they uphold under its constitution, making it a crime to abuse rights of other human begins. It is because this he says the PIF is not a forum to discuss issues or question the sovereignty of countries and thus reiterated that PIF should not interfere with the domestic issues of countries.
