Closing his press statement, the Vice President expressed hope that the efforts that have been made by the government regarding the harmonization of welfare and security in Papua can succeed in the acceleration program that has been designed and eliminate dissatisfaction and distrust that may occur in Papua towards the government.

"Thus, we hope that this will give the trust of the Papuan people, from Papuan leaders, both government figures, traditional leaders, religious leaders, women's leaders. We will continue to hold dialogues in order to eliminate dissatisfaction. With the dissatisfaction that is getting less and less, we hope that it will affect the overall security condition in Papua. I think that's the hope of the central government," he said.
