Golkar Party chief Aburizal Bakrie warned the international community against intervening in Papua, saying the issue was part of Indonesia's domestic affairs.
"Golkar is standing in the front row against any foreign interference in Papua. The eastern-most province is an integral part of Indonesia and we do love Papua," Aburizal said at the closing ceremony of the party's leadership meeting here on Friday.
He then suggested that all parties involved should discuss the problem instead of provoking further violence.
Aburizal also rejected earlier criticism from certain countries over the government's handling of conditions in Papua, and had facilitated Papuans in exile to launch an anti-Indonesia movement.
However, he also admitted that many problems in Papua still needed to be resolved by the government.
