The foreign ministers of Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) will talk more about the issue of West Papua and Indonesia wanting to become members of the MSG group.
Foreign Minister Rimbink Pato told PNG Loop that a resolution has been made on the application by the pro-independence group, The United Liberation Movement, for West Papua to have membership at the MSG.
He also says the ministers will be discussing Indonesia’s interest to be an associate member of this Melanesian group.
“So we will make recommendations to the leaders who will then discuss among themselves and announce outcomes to everyone,” Pato says.
The minister says MSG leaders have always been consistent in making decisions and he believes this will be the same for the two interest groups.
The foreign ministers will also be finalising their resolutions from their Special Foreign Ministers meeting to the 20th MSG Leaders’ Summit this week in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
Pato left for the Solomon Islands yesterday.
The 20th MSG Leaders’ Summit and related meetings are being held from 18 to 26 June.
