The East Indies islands, modern Indonesia, are considered to be in Asia. However, the most eastern island in the archipelgo , New Guinea, is tectonically, part of Australian tectonic plate.

The island of New Guinea is divided into two political parts. The western part is part of the nation/country of Indonesia. The eastern part forms a separate nation of Papua New Guinea(PNG).
