Bali governor Made Mangku Pastika made the remarks here on Friday during a meeting with Australian Consul General Helena Studdert, adding that it was important to be prepared to tackle any emergency situation.
This is all the more important as is the ability to anticipate an attack, particularly after the terrorist attack that occurred in Jakarta on Thursday.
Pastika stated that quick response teams and trained security personnel and medical workers were badly needed to deal with any eventuality, quickly bring back the situation to normal, help the victims as well as handle those in trauma.
"We wish to send security personnel, medical practitioners and nurses to Australia to be trained at Darwin," he said.
According to him, Darwin is an appropriate location for training because the Australian city is not only home to the high quality emergency handling system, but also it is not too far from Indonesia.
In addition, Pastika also wished to step up cooperation in intelligence sharing.
The governor pointed out that the Bali government also wished to enhance cooperation with the Darwin government in the field of education, in particular.(WDY)
