Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  Minister of Defense Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin and Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati visited Kenyam District in Nduga Regency, Papua Mountains, on Saturday 7/6/2025), wearing bulletproof vests while inspecting military posts in a high-risk conflict zone.

Brigadier General Frega Ferdinand Wenas Inkiriwang, the Defense Ministry Head of Information, said that the visit aimed to align defense and financial priorities on the ground. 

“This visit helps the Finance Ministry understand the real operational challenges faced by soldiers stationed in frontline areas like Papua,” he said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

The ministers flew from Timika to Kenyam and visited the Tactical Command Post of Masariku Infantry Battalion, where they assessed the troops and their equipment. 

Chief Frega said it was the Finance Minister’s first visit to a conflict area in Nduga.

He added the visit also reflected a commitment to defense budget accountability and inter-ministerial synergy to support national security despite risks in conflict-prone regions.
