Sabtu, 9 Januari 2016 08:42 WIB | 675 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said he would send a special envoy to Saudi Arabia and Iran in an effort to mediate the conflict and heightening of tension between to countries.

"Yes, I will send a special envoy to Iran and Saudi Arabia next week. It will be announced before the departure of the envoy (from the ministry of foreign affairs). I hope the departure will take place soon, possibly on Monday," President Jokowi said at the State Palace here on Friday.

The president said it is very important now to send the special envoy as there would be no direct talks.

One of the aims in sending the envoy is to deliver the Indonesian offer to serve as a mediator for the two conflicting countries.

"Sending an envoy would have different weight from only having telephone talks. We show seriousness if we send an envoy," the president said.

The diplomatic relations between the two countries worsened after Saudi Arabia executed 47 people who were suspected terrorists, including Iranian cleric Nmr al-Nimr.(*)

Surabaya, GATRAnews - Industri galangan kapal PT PAL Indonesia saat ini berencana membuat kapal selam untuk TNI Angkatan Laut (TNI AL). Kerjasama alih teknologi dengan Korea Selatan pun sedang dibangun guna mendukung rencana tersebut. PT PAL telah mengirim ratusan pekerjanya ke Korsel guna mempelajari pembuatan kapal selam.

"Ada 206 personel kami yang kami kirim ke Korsel untuk belajar. Alhamdulillah dengan melihat dan mempelajari disana sebagian besar sudah berhasil dan pulang kembali," ujarnya saat kunjungan kerja Menhan Ryamizard Ryacudu ke PT PAL di Surabaya Jawa Timur, Kamis (13/8).

PT PAL kini tengah membangun galangan khusus untuk kapal selam di kawasan Markas Komando Armada Timur (Koarmatim) Surabaya.

Menhan Ryamizard berharap tahun ini galangan kapal selam sudah rampung sehingga tahun depan sudah memulai tahap produksi kapal selam buatan anak negeri. "Infrastruktur kapal selam tahun ini selesai sehingga tahun depan bisa dimulai pembuatannya," ucapnya.

Menhan pun memuji PT PAL yang mampu membuat kapal baik sipil maupun kapal perang dengan kualitas baik. Terbukti dengan adanya pesanan 2 unit kapal Landing Platform Dock (LPD) dari Filipina dan ketertarikan dari Uni Emirat Arab.

"Bagus lah, sudah banyak orang pesan. Ada dari Filipina, dan Uni Emirat Arab," ungkap Menhan. Kedepan, mantan KASAD era Presiden Megawati Soekarnoputri itu berharap, kapal buatan PAL bisa bersaing di pasaran internasional. "Kedepan bisa lah, kita kan udah bisa transfer teknologi dan bisa lebih maju lagi," harapnya.

The history of DAHANA as a pioneer in this industry started with the project of Menang of Air Force of the Republic of Indonesia (AURI) in 1966 in Tasikmalaya, West Java.

Having been made official to become DAHANA General Company based on the Government Regulation No. 36/1973, it was later on stated as a State-Owned Company (Persero) in 1991.

DAHANA has been put to a test and proven to be capable of providing excellent integrated explosive and blasting services for various purposes and conditions, including bench blasting, trench blasting dan underwater blasting, which are fairly complicated. DAHANA is capable of handling comprehensive blasting process from design, calculation, drill holepreparation, blasting configuration, explosive supply, blasting execution, to operational security.

DAHANA realizes that the company pillar is placed in the outstanding human resource management, effective management, and well-organized company. This is shown in the commitment of PT DAHANA (Persero) management through Quality Management Policy, and Environment and Workplace Health Security, which has acquired certifications of ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, and OHSAS 18001:2007.

Dahana

Project Menang itself actually an independent project from Air Force and Indonesian Aeronautic Research center to provide explosive and propellant device to be used for the contemporary indigenous rocket programme for military use purpose, the end goals at the time is to provide Indonesian Armed Forces with Armed Rocket who had capacities to engage any target in tactical theater. But the programme is actually diverted for civilian use, especially for mining purpose with the boom of Indonesian Mining industries in the beginning of 70 decades at the time of Middle Eastern Oil Crisis. And so we can see how Dahana had been evolved into one large civilian companies who engaged in explosive devices for civilian and military purpose. Lately Dahana had been leaned towards military industries with their co project with PT PINDAD to provide explosive devices and Joint Venture for Propellant Factories set up in West Java.
