BATAM: Navy Chief of Staff Adm. Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno signed Saturday an MoU with the National Narcotics Agency in the fight against drug trafficking.
Tedjo said the agreement would allow the Navy to help prevent drug trafficking by sea, given the vulnerability of maritime borders to narcotics-related criminal activities.
The Navy chief also inked an agreement with the director general of taxes and excise, the director general of sea transportation and the director general of fisheries and marine resources control and supervision, on the prevention of crimes at sea, also covering the lending of a 12.7 mm weapon and its ammunition to support law enforcement at sea. -- JP
