FIJI POLICE TO BENEFIT FROM INDONESIA DEFENCE TRAINING PROGRAM

04/06/2014

The first participation ever for Fiji at a leadership course for defence officials in Indonesia demonstrates the growing relations between the two countries.

Fiji will be represented by Superintendant Juki Fong of the Fiji Police Force at the 2014 Middle Level Leadership Course conducted at the Indonesia Police Staff Academy in Bandung, Indonesia.

Fiji’s Ambassador to Indonesia Ratu Seremaia Tui Cavuilati said that Fiji will join 200 participants from across Indonesia who have registered for the 7-month course.

He pointed out that this latest development was made possible through the signing of a Memorandum of Understandings on Police Cooperation signed between the two countries in 2011.

The training includes capacity building in areas such as trafficking of illicit drugs, terrorism, trafficking and smuggling of migrants, money laundering, trafficking of illicit arms and explosives, cyber crime and other important areas.
