Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether (a) British and (b) other foreign diplomats have been prevented from entering West Papua.

​The UK takes a close interest in the situation in Papua. We are aware of reports of temporary restrictions on access for foreign nationals following violent clashes in several cities in Papua and West Papua provinces. Officials from our Embassy have visited Papua this year and plan to do so again.
