RI holds border talks with PNG

JAKARTA: An Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) border
committee will hold talks in Surabaya, East Java, on Tuesday to
discuss border issues between the neighboring countries.

The PNG delegation will be led by Minister of Foreign Affairs
and Immigration Rabbie Namaliu, who recently attended the
Southwest Pacific dialog in Yogyakarta over the weekend.

"The joint border committee will discuss all border issues,
including the people's movement from Papua to PNG and vice
versa," Minister of Foreign Affairs Hassan Wirayuda said on
Monday.

PNG shares the border with the province of Papua, formerly
known as Irian Jaya. -- JP
