Papua New Guinea has reportedly made threats to kick the Indonesian ambassador out of the country after what is described as an incident in Indonesian airspace last November.
“Two Indonesian military aircraft almost collided with a jet carrying PNG’s deputy prime minister and senior government officials who were returning from Malaysia,” Radio Australia News reported on Friday.
The Australian broadcaster said allegations had been made that the Indonesian Military (TNI) had been tracking the activities of the PNG government, which was described by the country’s prime minister, Peter O’Neil, as “an act of aggression and intimidation.”
The broadcaster said PNG had demanded a full explanation from its neighbor “within 48 hours.”
The story is developing.
