Sunnylands, California (ANTARA News) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has commended Indonesian security personnel for having successfully curbed terror acts.

"I am also proud of the Indonesian security personnel," the head of state noted at a session on terrorism before leaders attending the US-ASEAN Summit here, Tuesday.
