Deputy Secretary of Defense Ash Carter visited Jakarta on Tuesday and Wednesday and delivered public remarks at the Jakarta International Defense Dialogue (JIDD). He also met with ministers of defense from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, and with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Committee of Permanent Representatives.
Basuki was assigned to provide a route protection plan and a Police escort service. We worked with 3+ police cars, 17+ police motorcycle escorts, 500+ Jakarta regional city police officers to provide a full-priority escort that is equivalent to the escort for the Head-of-State or the President.
The visit went successful without any incident. The trips to various points visited during the visit was clear from any single traffic. (Note: Jakarta is rated as a city with the worst traffic on the planet)
