It has long time for the people of West Papua hoped the International community and its governments to pressure UN review the legality of the West Papua status on International law, so that the problem could be resolve peacefully. And we are happy that your government made the Vanuatu as the fist country which has stated the motion for West Papua legally after the launch of International Parliamentarians for West Papua (IPWP) and International Lawyers for West Papua (ILWP).

We would like the Government of Vanuatu to make a good relation with the International Parliamentarians for West Papua (IPWP) and also the International lawyers for West Papua (ILWP) on how to establish an understanding as an effort to make bigger solidarity power with UN states committee in world which concern on justice and peace in the world.
