Indonesia Foreign Affairs 1960-1963

The international scene was, for Sukarno, a gigantic stage upon which a dramatic confrontation between (as he termed them) the New Emerging Forces and Old Established Forces played out. With the assistance and support of the PKI, Sukarno attempted to forge a "Jakarta-Phnom Penh-Beijing-Hanoi-Pyongyang axis" in order to combat neocolonialism, colonialism, and imperialism. Although the Soviet Union was a major supplier of arms and economic aid, relations with China through official and PKI channels were growing close.

Continued Dutch occupation of West New Guinea was Indonesia's biggest foreign affairs issues and led to a break in diplomatic relations between Jakarta and The Hague in 1960. In December of that year, Sukarno established a special military unit, the Army Strategic Reserve Command, to "recover" the territory. Full-scale war, however, was averted when a compromise was worked out under U.S. auspices in which West New Guinea was first turned over to United Nations (UN) and then to Indonesian administration. The UN replaced the Dutch on October 1, 1962, and in May 1963, Indonesian authority was established.
