Jakarta to train Mozambique officers

JAKARTA: Maputo city administration in the Republic of
Mozambique has requested assistance from the Jakarta
administration for training of public order officers, detik.com
reported on Sunday.

"At first they wanted the police, but I told them that the
police were under the state, and that the city only has public
order officers. I told them about their job, and the Maputo
administration considered it important enough to ask for
training," Governor Sutiyoso was quoted as saying.

He said that the Maputo administration requested him to
send trainers to Mozambique, but that "for the technicalities
we'll have to wait for the Maputo delegation to return our
courtesy call".

Last week, Sutiyoso visited two African countries to sign a
provincial city agreement with South Africa's province of Kwazuku
Natal and a sister city agreement with Mozambique's capital of
Maputo. -- JP
