It's hoped representatives of various groups will be allowed to travel to Vanuatu in the hope of forming a united representative group.

The Melanesian Spearhead group last months knocked back a membership application by West Papua National Coalition for Liberation saying any future membership bid should come from a more representative umbrella group.


Pastor Alain Nafuki, the chairman of the West Papua Unification Committee says he hopes Indonesia will allow groups to travel from West Papua to attend the meeting.
