JAKARTA - Minister of Defense (Menhan) Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said his party would build an international-standard military training facility area in the Morotai area, North Maluku.
This is done so that the TNI has military training facilities that are suitable for use at the national and international levels.
"I think friends already know that Morotai was used in the Second World War so that he still has defense infrastructure, and we will both improve and we will both use it," said Sjafrie as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 12.
Sjafrie continued, in addition to being used by the TNI, the combat training ground can also be used as a tool for diplomacy with other countries.
With this internationally qualified combat facility, the TNI can invite military forces from other countries to hold joint exercises.
"We are creating International Training Facilities in Morotai. There can be air training, sea training, land training," said Sjafrie.
Sjafrie explained that the combat training facility could not only be used by neighboring countries in the Southeast Asian region but also by Indonesia's partner countries from across the continent.
"We don't want our country to be closed, we want our country to be open-minded with other countries," added Sjafrie.
However, Sjafrie did not explain in detail when the construction process began and how far the progress of the construction of the combat training facility was.
