Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) is planning to set up the National Preparedness Center in West Jakarta this year, according to head of the agency's general affairs bureau, Fanfan Infansyah.

In a statement released by his office here on Wednesday, Infansyah, who is also chair of the technical team overseeing the national center's development, said that the facility is envisioned to play a strategic role in boosting the nation's preparedness and resilience against terror threats.

He added that the national center would also function as BNPT's primary facility for coordination and the rehabilitation of terror convicts.

Moreover, he continued, the center will serve as a platform for the anti-terror agency to evaluate coordination among law enforcement institutions and organize counter-radicalization activities.

"The building will also stand as a symbol of national integration," he said.
