U.S. does not support separatism in Papua: Ambassador Boyce 


JAKARTA (JP): United States Ambassador to Indonesia Ralph L. Boyce asserted on Monday that his government does not support separatist activities in Indonesia's eastern province of Irian Jaya, a report said.

Boyce renewed the U.S. stance that they will not support any separatism movements in Indonesia, including those in the province of Irian Jaya, Antara reported.

Boyce visited Indonesia's easternmost province on Monday and held talks with Governor of Irian Jaya J.P. Salossa, Trikora Military Commander Maj. Gen. Mahidin Simbolon and Irian Jaya Police chief Insp. Gen. I Made Mangku Pastika in Jayapura, the capital of Irian Jaya.

The envoy said that the purpose of the meeting was to obtain firsthand information about development and conditions in Irian Jaya.

After the meeting with provincial authorities, Boyce held talks with provincial legislators on the same issues.

Boyce is slated to hold meetings on Tuesday with American missionaries in Irian Jaya and also the rector and officials of Cendrawasih State University.

Earlier, Boyce went to Mimika regency in Timika to witness the cultural festival of the Komoro tribe and visit a mining site at Tembagapura. He also visited the grave of Irian Jaya separatist leader Theys Hiyo Eluay. (edt)
