Indonesia sent representatives of the team to shoot the National Police in the world championship shooting gun in Guangdong, China.

"The activity will encourage police officers around the world to continue to improve their shooting ability in increasing the efficiency of using weapons in combat," he said.

Indonesian Police Chief General Tito Karnavian met with US Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Monday for strengthening the two countries` cooperation in combating transnational cyber crimes.

The Indonesian National Police and the US Attorney General`s Office had agreed to strengthen the bilateral cooperation in dealing with various forms of transnational cyber, economic, and financial crimes, Tito Karnavian said in a press statement.

As revealed in the press statement that ANTARA received in Jakarta on Monday evening, Tito met with Rosenstein on the sidelines of this year`s Interpol General Assembly held in Dubai and attended by nearly 1,000 official representatives from 173 countries.

At the meeting, they exchanged views on several issues of common concerns in an endeavor to combat the transnational cyber crimes though the Indonesian Police and their US counterparts have been building good cooperation for decades.

One of the most obvious forms of cooperation that the two countries have done is related to capacity building program in which the Indonesian police personnel receive law enforcement-related training programs from their US counterparts, he said.

"This education and training program is quite helpful for the Indonesian National Police personnel to improve their knowledge and skills," he said, adding that the Jakarta Center for Law Enforcement Centre (JCLEC) could continuously be developed.

The education and training programs run by the JCLEC at the Semarang-based Police Academy could be designed in accordance with the needs, said Tito Karnavian who was accompanied by several Indonesian police top brass during the meeting.

They were Chief of the National Police`s Criminal Investigation Department Commissioner General Arief Sulistyanto, Chief of the National Police`s International Relation Department Inspector General H.S.Maltha, and Secretary of the National Central Bureau-Interpol Indonesia Brig.Gen.Napoleon Bonaparte.

At the bilateral meeting, US Deputy Attorney General of Rod J. Rosenstein was quoted as saying that the US cooperation with the Indonesian Police is so strategic that it needs to be continued, including in capacity building program.

Meanwhile, in connection with its general assembly, the Interpol revealed in its official website that the four-day conference addressed how technology would change future threats and how it could be used by law enforcement to meet these challenges.

With more than 55 per cent of the world`s population having Internet access, criminals are increasingly going after data as a means to make money, as shown by recent ransomware attacks, the Interpol said.

The Interpol General Assembly brought together nearly 1,000 official representatives from 173 countries, including 85 police chiefs and nearly 40 ministers. (ANTARA)

Indonesia’s vice president Jusuf Kalla called on the nation in Solo, Central Java, on Sunday to always be grateful because despite all conflicts that have happened in the country so far they have been able to overcome them well.

"I am sad to see situation in Islamic countries at present (as) around 30 percent of 50 Islamic countries are full of conflicts," he said in his speech at the commemoration of the 106th anniversary of Muhammadiyah, one of the biggest Islamic organizations in the country.

Islamic countries such as Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan and others are full of conficts which have not been settled until now.

"We must be grateful as a nation. We used to see a lot of conflicts in the country but they could all be settled well. Justice is the key to all conflicts such as those in Aceh, Poso, Ambon, Kalimantan, Papua, DI/TII in Java in the past. All of them happened because of injustice. This is where efforts must be directed to," he said.

Kalla said economic, social and political injustices were all factors that had caused all the conflicts and this did not only apply on Indonesia but on other countries as well.

In view of that he said all efforts taken in the fields of economy and socio-politics must be assured to bring goodness to all.

Efforts that have been taken by Muhammadiyah in the social and economic fields indeed must be supported with regard to meeting competition against other countries in the world, he said adding that all kinds of competition could be settled through knowledge and technology in addition to social justice.

"I am convinced Muhammadiyah has given big contribution to the efforts seeing a lot of educational institutions and others that it has been establishef in the country. All of the efforts unite and improve the welfare of the nation.What Muhammadiyah has done is an extraordinary management," he said.

Kalla said it has been 106 years that Muhammadiyah has served the nation and the religion. Muhammadiyah`s contribution and service to the nation are huge with all the schools, universities and hospitals it has established.

On the occasion Kalla was given Muhammadiyah Award for his humanitarian and peace efforts so far. The award was personally handed over to him by the general chairman of Muhammadiyah, Haedar Nashir. (ANTARA)
