TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian National Police has suspended some partnerships with the Australian Federal Police following recent uneasy diplomatic ties between the two nations. National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Ronnie F. Sompie said that one of the partnerships that will be halted will be in the education sector.
"For example, the plan to send detectives for a course in Australia has been postponed," said Ronnie at the National Police Headquarters on Thursday.
Ronnie, however, added that collaborations revolving around crime, such as curbing human trafficking, would continue. Ongoing investigations handled by both Indonesia and Australia will also continue.
