Bulungan, N Kalimantan (ANTARA News) - Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro has pledged to station more Indonesian military (TNI) personnel in Nunukan District, North Kalimantan, bordering Malaysia, by forming an infantry brigade of the Armys Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad).
"We will station more TNI personnel in the border areas of North Kalimantan Province by creating a battalion of Kostrads infantry brigade in Nunukan District," he said while visiting the Bulungan Cakti infantry brigade station recently.
The presence of a Kostrad battalion in Nunukan District will facilitate the development of a sustainable state defense initiative in border areas and will eventually boost the local economy and promote the welfare of the local people, he stated.
He pledged to increase the number of TNI personnel along the Indonesia-Malaysia borders in North Kalimantan Province, particularly in Nunukan or Sebatik Island as part of efforts to protect the sovereignty of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia.
To date, North Kalimantan Province has two battalions. They are the 613/Raja Ampat infantry battalion in Tarakan City and the Bulungan Cakti infantry brigade in Bulungan District. The government plans to build a battalion in Nunukan District, North Kalimantan, soon.
"The (plan to) add a TNI battalion in North Kalimantan Province (has been outlined in) an important note that we will deliver to the central government," he said.
Responding to the plan to form the battalion, Assistant II of the North Kalimantan provincial government Syaiful Herman warmly welcomed it, hoping it would accelerate development activities and boost economic growth in border areas.

Nusa Dua, Bali (ANTARA News) - At least 4,895 joint personnel of Indonesian military and police will be deployed to secure United Nations Alliance of Civilization (UNAOC) meeting to be held at Nusa Dua, Bali, on August 29-30, 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 here 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.
