FIRST WOC DELEGATIONS EXPECTED IN MANADO FIRDAY EVENING
Manado, Indonesia, May 8 (ANTARA) - At least 10 extra flights carrying World Ocean Conference (WOC) delegations from Jakarta and Singapore are expected to arrive in Manado, North Sulawesi, on Friday evening.
North Sulawesi Governor Sinyo Harry Sarundajang said here on Friday both domestic and foreign delegations would start arriving at Sam Ratulangi International Airport here on Friday evening to attend WOC and Corral Triangle Initiative (CTI) Summit from May 11-15, 2009.
"It is a tentative schedule. It may be more than that because not all airline companies have reported on their extra flights to Manado," Governor Sarundajang said after inspecting preparations at Sam Ratulangi airport.
According to the governor, the extra flights would be made by national flag-carrier Garuda Indonesia.
He said the first flight would carry Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Freddy Numberi and his entourage on Friday evening.
Besides the extra flights, Garuda Indonesia will make two special direct flights from Singapore to Manado to carry delegations from various countries.
Sarundajang said that in spite of the extra flights to Manado, commercial flights would remain normal and not be affected.
"Some foreign delegations and domestic participants in the WOC will use commercial flights to Manado," the governor said
Meanwhile, Wirabuana Military Command spokesman Captain Suparman said here on Friday morning that a total of 4,416 security personnel will safeguard the WOC and CTI Summit in Manado.
He said National Defense Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri) personnel from the provinces of South Sulawesi, Gorontalo, and North Sulawesi would be deployed to safeguard danger-prone areas in Manado during the world's event.
According to Suparman, the security personnel would be deployed around the Convention Hall of Grand Kawanua City Hotel (GKIC) and other star-rated hotels where the heads of state and government and the guests from 121 countries would stay.
Other areas to be protected against security disturbance, according to Captain Suparman, are Sam Ratulangi International Airport, Manado sea port, entertainment centers, and other public places.
WOC media center coordinator Roy Tumiwa said that success of the WOC and CTI Summit in Manado would entirely depend on the security situation.
Therefore, he said military and police security personnel would continue to intensify security precautionary measures at various danger-prone locations in the run up to and during the international events.***
