TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - At least 4,895 joint personnel of Indonesian Army (TNI) and police will be deployed to secure United Nations Alliance of Civilization (UNAOC) meeting to be held at Nusa Dua, Bali, from August 29 to 30, 2014.
"The area of the delegations' arrival in airport, travel routes, hotels, and place of meeting will be secured," the Chief of Bali Regional Police Inspector General Albertus Julius Benny Mokalu said after troops ceremony was held on Monday.
Thousands of troops have been derived from TNI Headquarter in Jakarta, IX/Udayana Regional Military Command, Presidential Special Forces, Bali Regional Police, and Benoa Seaport and Ngurah Rai Airport officers.
Albertus, who has also served as VVIP Security Operation for Bali-Nusa Tenggara areas, noted that the team will implement standard procedure in securing the VVIPs who will raise Unity in Diversity or "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" theme.
The United Nations General Secretary Ban Ki-moon has planned to attend the meeting along with Timor Leste President Taur Matan Ruak and several foreign ministers.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will officially inaugurate the meeting.
The Chief of IX/Udayana Regional Military Command Wisnu Bawa Tenaya pointed out that the soldiers should master the VVIP security procedure and avoid negligence by being increasingly sensitive to the environment.
"They should not hesitate in coordinating the situation with related parties when securing the meeting," Wisnu added.
