<p>The British Government follows the situation in Papua closely. We respect the territorial
integrity of Indonesia. Officials at the Embassy in Jakarta, visit Papua and West
Papua provinces regularly. I met the Indonesian Ambassador in January and raised Papua
with him, and I addressed a parliamentary debate on the issue on 8 May.</p><p>We fully
support efforts by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and her officials
to arrange a visit to Papua at the invitation of the Indonesian government. Officials
in our Embassy in Jakarta have discussed the proposed visit with the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, and encouraged Indonesia to agree dates as soon as possible.</p>
