Indonesian Govt beefs up security ahead of Asean summit in Labuan Bajo


Jakarta: Preparations are underway for the 42nd Asean summit, which will be convened in the Indonesian resort spot of Labuan Bajo next week.

Indonesia, the largest economy in the region, is chairing Asean this year with the theme of “Asean Matters: Epicentrum of Growth.”

The country has chosen Labuan Bajo, which is the gateway to the popular Komodo National Park in East Nusa Tenggara province, for the gathering to promote it as a travel destination for international tourists.

The country’s National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo arrived at Labuan Bajo on Wednesday and inspected a command center and other high-level security preparations at areas that will be used for the bloc’s meetings.

“Airport, accommodations as well as places for the meeting agendas are all monitored and supervised. Field officers are all connected to the command centre,” he told local media. — Xinhua
