Sulawesi, Kalimantan Police chiefs meet

MANADO, North Sulawesi: All provincial police chiefs from
Kalimantan and Sulawesi are holding a two-day meeting here, due
to end today, to discuss security cooperation.

North Sulawesi Police spokesman Adj. Comr. Wilson Damanik said
on Thursday that the meeting was so as to anticipate the possible
emergence of violent conflicts in their respective jurisdictions.

They also discussed the impact of the prolonged sectarian
conflict in Poso, Central Sulawesi, on neighboring areas.

"During the meeting, we discussed how to prevent such
conflicts from spreading to other areas, especially areas where
refugees are located," Damanik said.

National Police chief Gen. Da'i Bachtiar is scheduled to close
the meeting on Friday.
