JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Johnny G. Plate stated that media center facilities are ready to be used to support the coverage activities of the 42nd ASEAN Summit by journalists from within and outside the country.

He said this when he visited the location of the media center at the Bintang Flores Hotel, Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Monday, May 8.

"So indeed my overall observation of the Media Center of the 42nd ASEAN Summit is ready," he said, confiscated by Antara.

The Minister of Communication and Information explained that the facilities that journalists can use include the workspace and the LAN network (local network) to communicate quickly.

"There is sufficient bandwidth available. Earlier I checked the uplink and the downlink was quite fast," he said.

According to the Minister of Communication and Information, all available facilities were used when President Joko Widodo gave media briefings at the media center today.

He ensured that the media center was ready and sufficient in the midst of the limitations in Labuan Bajo. He said media services for the 42nd ASEAN Summit used a benchmark for holding the G20 Summit in Bali last year.
