The Governments of both Indonesia and Spain have consistently supported each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity. This commitment has been shown in various statements and meetings of high-level officials of the two countries. This is according to a press statement from the Indonesian Embassy in Madrid, obtained by Antara News Agency in Jakarta on Saturday (19/2).

The information was conveyed, following information on social media, which suspected that someone, who claimed as the President of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) met the Spanish Central Senate and was a member of the Senate of the Navarra and Basque Autonomous Regions. The Indonesian Embassy in Madrid had confirmed this matter to the relevant parties and received an explanation that the meeting was in the personal capacity of the member of the senate.

The Indonesian Embassy in Madrid ensures that this activity does not reflect the official attitude of the Spanish government and state which consistently supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.

According to the Indonesian Embassy in Madrid, the spread of hoaxes and distorting facts and misinformation are the main motives. Meanwhile, the Indonesian embassy also continues to communicate with the government and various groups in Spain to provide a comprehensive understanding of Indonesia, including separatist groups and acts of terrorism that only cause suffering for the people.
