Jakarta (ANTARA) - Head of the Traffic Corps of the National Police, Inspector General Firman Shantyabudi, reviewed traffic security for the G20 Summit, which will be held in Bali in November 2022.

"We are now conducting an inspection in-person with the Operations Division at GWK, which is planned to be used later for one of the series of G20 Presidencies," he said in a written statement received here on Thursday.

Shantyabudi and his entourage also visited some locations, including the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), and Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK).

He said that the inspection was aimed at ascertaining that the implementation of the G20 Summit in Bali would run well.

The venues where the checks were conducted included entry and exit routes, road infrastructure, parking locations, to technical drop-offs. He said that all potential issues identified ahead of the G20 Summit would be addressed.

The Traffic Corps is also collaborating with other sectors to optimize all tools and applications, including electronic ticketing, he informed.

He assured that all applications issued by the regional government, police force, and other officials would be synchronized for monitoring road activities.

He said he expected that the G20 Summit in Indonesia would demonstrate to the whole world that Indonesia is a safe and comfortable tourist destination for foreign tourists.

"As a good host, this is a good opportunity to show that Indonesia can conduct an international event well," he remarked.

Shantyabudi said that Indonesia would not only be successful in hosting meetings, but would also be successful in presenting the nation better in terms of tourism through the Summit.
