REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KUPANG -- The security condition along the border of Indonesia and Timor Leste remains under control, according to Border Security Task Force Commander Lieutenant Colonel (Infantry) Fransiskus Ari Susetio.

"The present security condition along the border remains under control, but the task force personnel will continue to step up supervision at every sensitive path," Fransiskus stated here on Monday.

Besides this, he explained that the task force personnel were also assigned to conduct patrolling of the villages, which are directly adjacent to Timor Leste in order to monitor and supervise possible border intrusion.

Fransiskus noted that besides monitoring and supervising the adjacent villages, the task force personnel and military officials at the border also conducted numerous social and economic activities with the people of both countries to strengthen the sense of nationalism.

According to Fransiskus, the task force personnel and military officials were deployed for three days before and after the July 9 presidential election at numerous cross-border gates and sensitive areas to anticipate possible mass mobilization to and from Timor Leste.

Therefore, he emphasized that the security situation along the border with Timor Leste is now relatively conducive, and there is continuous communication between the people of the two countries.
