President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo will hold a limited Cabinet meeting to discuss Papua on Thursday at the Presidential Office.
Based on an agenda published by the Presidential press bureau, Jokowi will lead the meeting on Papua at 4 p.m.
Papua has been in the news recently with the ongoing investigation into contract negotiations of Papua's biggest copper and gold mining firm PT Freeport Indonesia, the local unit of US-based mining giant Freeport McMoRan. The issue has implicated top Indonesian officials including House of Representatives Speaker Setya Novanto.
Separately, an Indonesian Military (TNI) officer was shot by an armed group in the country's easternmost province earlier this week.
Meanwhile, the Health Ministry is investigating a case surrounding the mysterious deaths of dozens of children.
Prior to that, the President is also scheduled to hold a meeting to talk about TNI primary weaponry systems at 1:30 p.m. (rin)(+)
