Indonesia, Timor Leste hold joint patrol along border

Security personnel from Indonesia and Timor Leste have held a joint border patrol to guard the two countries' shared border.

The situation in the border area shared by Indonesia and Timor Leste was generally safe and under control, Lt. Col. Fransiskus Ari Susetio, commander of the Indonesia-Timor Leste border security task force, said on Monday as quoted by Antara news agency.

Besides the joint patrolling, Indonesia and Timor Leste also hold regular meetings on border security.

Fransiskus said the participation of local people was also crucial to maintaining security and order in the border area. (hhr)
