RI, EU discussing ways to combat terrorism
Indonesia and the European Union are discussing ways to combat terrorism in a workshop being held here on Sept. 4-5, an Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman has said.
The workshop, which is supported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC), has as its theme, "Legal Implementation of the Universal Framework against Terrorism, Combating Cyber Terrorism and Rehabilitation Programs", spokesman Desra Percaya said Tuesday.
The workshop is a forum to exchange experiences and training programs for the implementation of international law on terrorism, as well as to discuss technical cooperation and EU assistance, he said. EU official Joaquim Lemos said the European Union was happy to help Indonesia fight terrorism and would provide whatever assistance was necessary.
The European Union, he said, would also learn from Indonesian experiences in handling terrorism and implementing rehabilitation programs for terrorists.
Lemos said he would inform relevant people in the European Union of the results of the workshop. (The Jakarta Post) |
