TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta Public Order Security Agency (Satpol PP) will secure the 43rd ASEAN Summit on September 5-7, 2023, at the event venues, the roads passed by the delegation, and the hotels where the delegates stay.

"We will secure the hotel areas where the delegates stay, the roads they pass, and their meeting venues," Head of Jakarta Satpol PP Arifin said on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

The Jakarta Satpol PP will deploy 2,235 personnel to help secure the 43rd ASEAN Summit implementation for 24 hours. There will be three shifts in securing the event: morning-afternoon, afternoon-evening, and evening-morning.

This year, Indonesia is chairing the ASEAN Chairmanship with the vision of strengthening the region's resilient, adaptive, and inclusive development, playing a central role on the global stage, and benefiting the people in the region.

In its chairmanship of ASEAN this year, Indonesia is raising the theme "ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth".

Arifin explained that there will be 400 personnel who are tasked with securing the delegates' accommodation areas and the surroundings.

There are 18 hotels where the delegates stay, and the Satpol PP personnel will be ready to secure those areas, including the entrances and exits of the hotels.

"There is a commander stationed at every point who is in charge of supervising and ensuring that their members are on duty," Arifin said.

According to him, all levels of the Jakarta Satpol PP will help secure the event's implementation.

"All will be deployed, the echelons 3 and 4, the provincial, city, district, and sub-district-level officials, even the heads of Satpol PP sub-district offices in North Jakarta and Seribu Islands, where the event is not held there; they are given the responsibility to help secure," he said.

Satpol PP is also tasked with handling beggars, buskers, or unlicensed trading activities around the hotel area.

He said that Satpol PP is ready to be at the forefront of providing comfort, neatness, security, and order during the ASEAN Summit event.
