One of the strengths of the Indonesian nation lies in its diversity. There are various religions, hundreds of local languages, thousands of islands and many ethnic groups. Apart from the large number of ethnicities such as Javanese, Sundanese and Malay, Indonesia is also home to the largest Melanesian race in the world, greater than the combined Melanesians in six countries: Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Solomon and Fiji.
The majority of the Melanesian race is in Papua, West Papua, Maluku, North Maluku and Nusa East Southeast. Diversity is an asset and wealth of the Indonesian nation. With this diversity, this nation has great potential to have a rich perspective when looking at various problems.
