Kazakhstan eager to learn Indonesia's soft approaches on counterterrorism

Published in Indonesia Today
 
The Kazakh government is interested to learn the Indonesian National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT)'s soft approaches to deal with terrorism.  BNPT Chief Commissioner General  Police Suhardi Alius said in a press statement released on Sunday, January 28th that Kazakhstan expressed the interest when chairman of the Kazakh National Security Committee (NSC) Dauletbekovich Billsbekov had a working dinner with the BNPT chief in Astana on Wednesday, January 24th.
 
 
Alius said his visit to the capital of Kazakhstan was aimed at following up on a cooperation agreement between Indonesia and Kazakhstan on combating terrorism. During a meeting with Kazakh officials, he specifically explained what Indonesia has carried out to address terrorism, including making soft approaches by involving repented-former terrorist leaders to speak for the deradicalization program. Alius noted  this approach is quite effective because these former terrorists can share their experience and show their path of going back to the right direction.
 
The soft approaches, he added, also involve religious organizations such as the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah. From his explanations, the Kazakh official learned that soft approaches are another big point to handle the common issue of terrorism, in addition to hard approaches that are more widely implemented in different countries. As part of solution, BNPT also recruits a young generation of social media and internet activists to become ambassadors of peace in cyberspace. Antara 29.01.2018 Rezha
