RI to send police officers to S'pore

JAKARTA: The National Police will start sending officers to
Singapore next year for training in detective work as a part of a
cooperation agreement with the Singapore Police.

National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Aryanto Boedihardjo said
on Wednesday that the National Police would also invite
Singaporean police officers to spend some time at the police
training center in Semarang, Central Java.

"We hope that the current cooperation will strengthen
relations between the two countries, especially in combating
terrorism and other transnational crimes," Aryanto said after a
meeting with Singapore's visiting deputy prime minister, S.
Jayakumar.

Jayakumar, accompanied by Singaporean Ambassador to Indonesia
Edward Lee, visited National Police Headquarters to congratulate
the police on their successful capture of Azahari bin Husin,
Indonesia's most wanted terrorist, and to discuss ways of
improving coordination between the two countries in the fight
against terrorism. -- JP
