The Navy is to enhance the monitoring of maritime defense by establishing a new primary base in Papua.
"We will establish the 12th Indonesian Primary Navy Base in Sorong, Papua," said Primary Navy Base X commander in Jayapura Commodore Putu Wijamahaadi, as quoted by the Antara news agency on Friday.
Wijamahaadi said the establishment of the new base would increase the number of naval bases in Papua to three. The other two bases are Base X in Jayapura and Base XI in Merauke, he said.
He expected the construction of the new base in Papua would reduce the number of violations of maritime law in the area. "The waters in the area are prone to illegal fishing," Wijamahaadi said.
