MH Thamrin in Central Jakarta ' where the CFD was usually held ' would be open for automobile traffic on the designated date with no road closure,
'This policy is aimed at ensuring the conference's security and success,' he said.
Yayat said people who still want to exercise on April 9 should move their activities to the National Monument (Monas) area or Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Senayan, both of which are in Central Jakarta.
He said the CFD will be held as usual after the conference is over.
