"Synergy between the TNI and Polri is the key to overcoming any problems, such as the bomb blasts near the Sarina Departmental Store on Thamrin Street in which the Polri moved quickly to neutralize the threat with the support of the TNI," Jokowi remarked after opening the TNI-Polri leadership meeting here on Friday.
The president also urged the TNI and Polri to always be ready, swift, and move quickly to address and offer first aid in every disaster that strikes certain areas.
President Jokowi acknowledged that the TNI and Polri were quick in responding to every situation, such as addressing forest fires and other disasters last year.
He also expressed hope that the leaders of TNI and Polri would make on-field visits as often as possible and not just issue orders over the desk to their subordinates as the on-field condition is constantly changing.(*)
