YOGYAKARTA - In the grand G20 Summit which will take place in Bali in November 2022, the Navy plans to deploy 12 warships (KRI) to maintain the security of the conference. That is the plan to secure the G20 from the Indonesian Navy.

"Meanwhile, we have prepared 12 KRIs, later we will appoint Pangkoarmada II Admiral TNI T.S.B. Hutabarat as the command of operational arrangements (Kodal Ops) in the context of security at sea," said KSAL Admiral Yudo Margono ending up leading the handover ceremony (Sertijab) Pangkoarmada from Vice Admiral Abdul Rasyid to Rear Admiral Heru Kusmanto in Koarmada I, Central Jakarta, which was reported by VOI recently.

According to him, the agenda for securing the G20 Summit is still in a discussion meeting by the TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa.

"In the meeting, I have also reported that we are ready later with the factors being held, whether later driving factors from the base or using title factors. This is still in the meeting, with the existing budget we should project how many KRIs have been prepared," said Yudo.

According to him, in Bali waters there may be security from foreign warships whose delegates participated in the G20 Summit.

"Because this is an Indonesian territorial area, of course we will regulate them. In this marine sector, we will regulate the position of foreign warships, where the position of KRI is to carry out patrols," said the former Pangkogabwilhan I.

This, said Yudo, has become an international agreement, in which a country carrying out foreign activities and ships will secure its country's head in the country's territorial region, therefore the country will limit its patrol sector.
