In addition to the general, four Polri high-ranking officers were bestowed the Medal of Timor-Leste for their dedication.
They included head of the Education and Training Agency (Lemdiklat), Commissioner Gen. Chryshnanda Dwilaksana, and head of the international relations division, Inspector Gen. Krishna Murti.
During the award ceremony, Dwilaksana and the chief of PNTL also inked an updated agreement on cooperation in police capacity-building.
According to Andiko, the renewal of the cooperation pact represents the shared commitment of the two police institutions to mutually enhancing their professionalism and technical capabilities while intensifying information exchange.
The updated pact covers capacity-building programs in investigation, traffic management, intelligence, and community empowerment. It also establishes a framework for joint internships, seminars, and workshops.
Further, it complements the memorandum of understanding on Polri–PNTL partnership, which has been automatically renewed since its inception in 2009.
