President Yudhono has proposed a draft of a presidential regulation on the acceleration of development in West Papua, the draft includes promotion of a cluster-based approach to development, and an increased integration of the activities of the central and regional administrations.
Meanwhile there is strong Papuan call for dialogue with Jakarta, continuing human rights abuses are an obstacle to trust between Jakarta and Papuans.
