via Liputan6.com, 24 February 2020: In commemoration of the opening of the Japanese Cave Museum in Papua, the Japanese ambassador also took the opportunity to ask for assistance in finding the remains of Japanese soliders left behind in World War II. Article is in Bahasa. Thanks to Hari Suroto for the link.
Untuk pertama kalinya, Duta Besar Jepang untuk Indonesia, Ishii Masafumi datang ke Bumi Cenderawasih. Dalam kunjungannya itu, ia meresmikan museum gua Jepang di Biak dan bertemu dengan sejumlah pejabat Provinsi Papua di Kota Jayapura.
Di Jayapura, Ishii berkunjung ke Kodam XVII/Cenderawasih. Ishii meminta bantuan kodam untuk memberikan pengamanan dalam pencarian kerangka tulang tentara Jepang yang banyak gugur di Papua pada perang dunia II.
“Betapa pentingnya untuk mengembalikan kerangka tulang ini ke Jepang, sebab ada keluarganya di Jepang yang menantikan kerangka tulang ini. Jika diperbolehkan, proses pencarian akan dimulai pada musim panas tahun ini,” jelasnya di Jayapura pada Jumat (21/2/2020).
