RI exploring possible special forces cooperation with China Friday, November 12, 2010 22:10 WIB | National | | Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia is exploring possible cooperation between its special force and that of China as part of the defense cooperation agreement between the two countries. Indonesia`s Deputy Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said when asked to confirm about it by ANTARA News here on Friday Indonesia had already sent a team to see the education and training facilities for special forces in China. "We are exploring all kinds of possible cooperation programs which could be done between the Indonesian army`s special forces and that of China," he said. Sjafrie said the cooperation could be done in various forms such as education, exchange of officers and joint training. "We are studying it with all its aspects," he said. What is clear is, he said, the cooperation would also cover anti-terrorism. "What is certain is it will be closely related with the task and role of special forces," he said. In connection with that Indonesia and China have agreed to discuss the matter further in the bilateral consultation forum in December 2010 which will discuss all stages of defense cooperation between the two countries that had been agreed. "In the forum we will study what we have jointly done and how to follow it up," he said. Indonesia and China signed a defense cooperation on November 7, 2007. The agreement was signed by the two countries` then defense ministers namely Juwono Sudarsono of Indonesia and Cao Gangchuan of China.(*) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
