Semarang - Waves of preparedness and determination flow through the air in Semarang, Central Java, as the approach of August 17-22, 2023, marks the anticipated Asean Economic Ministers And Related Meetings (AEM). In a significant move to ensure the security of this pivotal event, the Central Java Regional Police (Polda Jateng) staged an impressive troop deployment ceremony, assembling 781 highly-trained multi-functional personnel.
The troop readiness ceremony took place solemnly in the courtyard of the Central Java Governor's office, led by the Central Java Regional Police Chief, Inspector General Pol Ahmad Luthfi, accompanied by several key figures including the Vice Governor of Central Java, Taj Yasin Maimoen. However, what truly catches the eye are the presence of the skilled bomb disposal team (Jibom) and even the loyal K-9 unit.
Interestingly, this is not the first time the Central Java Regional Police has participated in securing high-level meetings of this nature. Inspector General Pol Ahmad Luthfi explained that this is the second time, following a similar security operation in Magelang some time ago. "Security measures encompass various aspects, ranging from discreet to open security, and even involving specialized units such as the Jibom unit from the Central Java Regional Mobile Brigade (Brimobda)," added the Chief of Police, elaborating on the extensive scope of responsibilities.
Taj Yasin, the Vice Governor of Central Java, wholeheartedly appreciated the police force's readiness in maintaining security for the Asean Economic Ministers' event in the region. "We are merely providing support as this initiative comes from the central government, and we have full confidence that our security forces are ready to provide exceptional service," Taj Yasin conveyed, strengthening the prevailing confidence.
Beyond security measures, the Central Java Provincial Government sees this event as a golden opportunity to showcase the region's prominent potentials. In this context, the promotion of tourism and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM) will take center stage, including the Halal products produced by UMKMs. The Central Java Provincial Government will proudly introduce its cultural richness and economic innovation to the event participants.
From an international perspective, Ari Satria, the Secretariat of the Directorate General of International Trade Negotiations at the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag), added that the AEM will offer more than just official meetings. Various supplementary events, including a focus on digital economic development in the ASEAN region and the launch of an ASEAN-level online sales platform, will fill this vital agenda.
The Asean Economic Ministers And Related Meetings will be attended by high-ranking officials from Indonesia, including the Minister of Trade and the Minister of Investment, who will ensure that ASEAN economic cooperation continues to thrive and benefit all member countries. As a main driver within the regional economic network, this meeting holds the potential to unlock promising new opportunities.
With fervent spirit and meticulous preparations, the Central Java Regional Police and all relevant parties stand ready to safeguard the security and success of the Asean Economic Ministers And Related Meetings in Semarang. This event is not merely about meetings, but also about strengthening regional bonds and embracing boundless potentials that can shape a brighter future.
