TNI Commander Admiral Yudo Margono stated that there was no assistance for security or military from foreign countries in securing the Archipelagic and Island States High Level Conference (KTT AIS) forum 2023 in Nusa Dua, Bali.

"For foreign aid, nothing. We carry out everything from our personnel because I think we can afford it from land, sea and air forces. We have never asked for outside assistance. With our strength, God willing, we will be able to carry out this security," said Yudo Margono after holding a Tactical Floor Game (TFG) at GOR Yudomo, Kepaon, Denpasar, Sunday, October 8, confiscated by Antara.

As part of the responsibility of risking the name of the Indonesian nation, the TNI/Polri along with other relevant stakeholders have carried out thorough preparations, both in terms of personnel and in terms of material, namely equipment for security, including the main weapon system equipment.

On Sunday afternoon all task forces on duty in the field will attend the Tactical Floor Game led directly by the TNI Commander Yudo Margono and National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

"This TFG is to provide understanding to each task force for the tasks carried out by the Dansatgas and their respective members. Where they are placed, and how the work and communication mechanisms are and all of them," said Yudo Margono.
