Inp.polri.go.id - Labuan Bajo. Police Senior Superintendent Imran Edwin Siregar, the Spokesperson for the Densus 88 Anti-Terror Unit of Indonesian National Police (INP), stated that Indonesia has risen as a standout nation, not only impressing its own citizens but also serving as a source of inspiration for the international community during the 17th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC). With an unwavering dedication and a track record of success in countering terrorism within its borders, Indonesia has garnered praise and triggered emulation across diverse countries. Employing a multi-pronged approach ranging from proactive prevention tactics to robust deradicalization initiatives, the country has solidified its status as a shining example in the global campaign against terrorism. He further explained that Indonesia has effectively thwarted terrorist plots during the planning stages, precluding the actual execution of attacks. Even in the final stages, well-executed deradicalization endeavors have proven effective in dissuading potential perpetrators from resorting to violence. This achievement, he underscored, resonates not only within Indonesia but reverberates globally, prompting other nations to evaluate and enhance their counterterrorism strategies. The emphasis on early intervention and the successful reintegration of radicalized individuals serves as a foundational pillar for the broader global campaign against terrorism. In the event held in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), the issue of counterterrorism and prevention took center stage, underlining its prominence on the regional agenda. Terrorism, marked by its transnational nature and complex global networks, underscores the imperative for international cooperation to effectively curb its reach. Southeast Asian nations united to collectively address the multifaceted threat of terrorism. Strategies encompassed disrupting recruitment mechanisms, dismantling funding sources, and countering the spread of extremist ideology through digital platforms. This shared vision and consensus reaffirm the region's commitment to fortify its preventive and counterterrorism capacities. In the capacity of the event's host, Indonesia is poised to share its invaluable insights and experiences with its regional peers. The nation's steadfast commitment extends to bolstering cooperation in preemptive measures, law enforcement, and post-enforcement deradicalization. Indonesia's impressive success in navigating the intricate landscape of terrorism positions it as a role model, guiding global endeavors in the relentless fight against similar threats, he concluded.
