The TNI (military) will deploy 16,631 personnel to secure the event marking the 60th anniversary of the conference and the 10th New Asian-African Strategic Partnership.
General Moeldoko said the roll call was held to check preparedness of personnel, materials and equipment for the event.
Through the activity constraints and real condition of units tasked with security the event activities starting from the arrival of delegations including heads of state and governments and their departures home could be checked directly, he added.
"So, confirmation that all personnel, materials and equipment are ready in terms of quality and quantity could be made," he said.
General Moeldoko said that the AAC event was an actualization of the Asian-African spirit since 1955 in responding to every development and challenge faced by member countries through partnership and concrete cooperation.
He said the AAC event must be successful because it has to do with the countrys honor and authority before the international community.
In view of the big number of heads of state and government who would be present and in the midst of current global security conditions which are considered as not conducive by a number of participating countries the TNI has set up a joint security command to assure the security of VVIP guests, he said.
The command consists of presidential security guards strengthened by TNI/Police forces and supported by regional security task forces that would secure outside Ring II and III areas and special task forces that would secure indirectly VVIP on-site activities.
The roll call was also attended by deputy national police Commissioner General Badrodin Haiti, navy chief of staff Admiral Ade Supandi, air force chief of staff Marshal Agus Supriyatna and army chief of staff General Gatot Nurmantyo.
In total, 57 delegations from Asian and African nations have confirmed their attendance at the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the AAC, which will be held on April 19-24, in Jakarta and Bandung.
Of the 10 ASEAN member countries, the Philippines will not be attending the event, while Thailand has not confirmed its participation.
Events marking the AAC will include a senior official meeting on April 19, a ministerial-level meeting on April 20, the Asian-African Business Summit on April 21, and the Asian-African Summit in Jakarta on April 22 and 23.
In addition, heads of states will participate in the historical walk event, which will be held in Bandung on April 24.
The AAC was first organized in Bandung in April 1955, at the initiative of Indonesia, Myanmar (Burma), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), India, and Pakistan.(*)
