| Abstract | : | Since Papua New Guinea's independence in 1975, the 760- kilometer-long border between it and Indonesia's Irian Jaya Province was a focus for mutual suspicion. Indonesia sought through diplomacy and intimidation to prevent Papua New Guinea from becoming a cross-border sanctuary for OPM separatists. Port Moresby's policy on the border situation was conditioned by fears of Indonesian expansionism and sympathy for West Papuan efforts to defend their cultural identity against Indonesianization. The Papua New Guinea government was also keenly aware of the military imbalance between the two countries. Border between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, there are various problems that occur in the region. Issues surrounding cross-border activities in the border areas between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea with regard to illegal crossborder activities of border communities as a form of traditional activities for their customs and cultural similarities between the border communities. It can disrupt diplomatic relations between the two countries so any problems should be resolved by means of negotiations. |
