he Foreign Ministry said on Friday that the government had no intention of expelling Rohinggyan refugees or of accommodating them on an uninhabited island.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir said in a statement on Friday that Indonesia had no plans to accommodate Rohingyan refugees on an uninhabited island as reported by The Jakarta Post on Thursday.
'What Indonesia is doing is accommodating refugees, just as the government has done with 582 refugees in Aceh,' he said.
Arrmanatha said that Indonesia would cooperate with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to handle refugees.
'After the refugees are given accommodation, the IOM will take over their handling,' he said. (rms)
