Mr Salwai said government and people of Vanuatu are behind West Papua to address the issue of human rights violations by Indonesia and the independence of the Melanesian people of West Papua.
He made the comment this morning when he received a high level delegation of West Papuans who are in Port Vila as the Melanesian Spearhead Group meets.
Although the MSG is split on the issue, Mr Salwai also said that he was happy with the progress so far in the international campaign of West Papua.
