"This operation prioritizes preemptive and preventive measures supported by law enforcement, cybersecurity, Interpol, and public relations efforts to maintain public order and ensure security during the AIS Forum," Ramadhan said in Bali, on Wednesday.

These zones encompass the HLM -1 activity venues and the hotels where the attending heads of state will be staying.
"Polri will also provide security in rings 1, 2, 3, and 4 at the locations of activities and accommodations for the ministers of participating countries and delegations attending the 1st HLM," he said.
Ramadhan explained that in contingency situations, Paspampres and Kogabwilhan II will be responsible for rescuing Head of State, with Polri providing assistance upon request.
"In contingency (emergency) situations, the efforts to rescue ministers and delegates at the HLM are the responsibility of Polri, following the contingency plans outlined in Operations Aman Nusa I, II, and III," he said.

In this security operation, Ramadhan remarked that Polri will utilize the Command Center 91 at Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) Nusa Dua as the central hub for security for the 1st HLM of the AIS Forum 2023.
The command center is equipped with comprehensive features for monitoring personnel movements, security vehicle tracking, communication channels, internal Polri applications, and external applications from relevant agencies, all of which are designed to anticipate potential threats to the security of heads of state, ministers, and delegates.
Indonesia has been designated as the host for the 2023 HLM of the AIS Forum with the theme "Fostering Collaboration, Enabling Innovation for Our Ocean and Our Future."
The meeting's agenda will focus on three key aspects: blue economy development, climate change challenges, and strengthening solidarity among archipelagic and island countries.
The AIS Forum is a global platform for communication and cooperation among archipelagic and island states worldwide. It was established in Manado in 2018 and was first proposed by Indonesia at the 2017 United Nations Ocean Conference in New York.
