Navy to build security posts in Maluku
AMBON, Maluku: The Indonesian Navy is to build naval bases to monitor security on
the borders with East Timor and Australia.
Eastern Fleet Command chief Rear Adm. Slamet Subiyanto said Monday that the
small bases would be built on Wetar and Kisar islands, hundreds of kilometers South
West of Ambon, the capital of Maluku province.
Subiyanto said construction of the bases was also aimed at protecting Maluku's
territorial waters from encroaching foreign fishing vessels. -- JP
