Nusa Dua (Antara Bali) - Indonesian National Defence Forces (TNI) personnel have stepped up security in Bali ahead of the 5th Bali Democracy Forum (BDF), which will be held from November 8-10.
"Good coordination among all security agencies in the field is needed because we will not tolerate any disruption of security during the event," Udayana Military Commander May Gen Wisnu Bawa Tenaya said here on Monday.
Thousands of TNI personnel have been deployed to ensure security at the annual meeting, which is scheduled to be attended by 12 heads of state from, among others, Iran, Afghanistan, Australia, Yemen, Timor Leste, South Korea, and New Papua Guinea.
