"With a view on future eventualities, we now must think of the posting of legal affairs attaches in countries where our nationals often face legal problems," Law and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar said at the presidential palace compound here on Wednesday after a meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono here on Wednesday evening.
He said his office would prepare steps to be taken including the stationing of legal affairs attaches abroad.
"I will also set up a special team under the head of research and development to study cases faced by our country abroad, social and cultural issues there, protection of citizens` human rights abroad and other social and legal issues," he said.
"The team will give inputs to would-be workers regarding cultural traditions," he said.
President Yudhoyono held a meeting with a number of cabinet ministers at the palace that evening to discuss a number of issues including the protection of migrant workers in the wake of the execution of Ruyati bin Satubi in Saudi Arabia recently.
