Jakarta – Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Djoko Suyanto said the Papua issue would not be discussed at the 19th ASEAN Summit and the 6th East Asia Summit, due to it being an internal issue that is to be resolved internally.

"It is an internal problem, it has nothing to do with the pattern of ASEAN cooperation," he said on Wednesday, as quoted by Antara news agency.

Meanwhile, the human rights organization Amnesty International urged Australia and the United States to discuss the Papua issue during the summit. Amnesty International condemned the ban on foreign media and foreign organizations in Papua.

"We have credible reports of violence involving the use of weapons by the Indonesian security forces," Josep Benedict of Amnesty International said on Tuesday, as quoted by The Age.
