"The one system service and control station will involve all parties, including the Police Departments of Timor Leste and Indonesia, the Indonesian National Armed Forces, the customs, and other related institutions at the border areas," BNN Head of East Nusa Tenggara Alo Dando stated here on Thursday.
He noted that the station will be established to prevent the international drugs syndicates from entering Indonesia via Timor Leste.
"The plan for establishing the drugs control station has been discussed at the ministerial level between Indonesia and Timor Leste," Alo said.
According to him, the station will be built in the neutral zone at the border area located in Motaain and Batugade.
The station will be equipped with advanced instruments to detect any form of drug probably smuggled through the borders.
"This is the best way to prevent the international drugs syndicates from entering Indonesia via Timor Leste, especially through Motaain and Batugade," Alo emphasized.
He stated that during this time, the border areas of Indonesia and Timor Leste in Motaain, Belu District, have been crossing lanes for the drugs syndicates due to lack of supervision and control.
"We hope that by establishing this joint station, we can break the drug syndicates supply chains and protect our country and generation from drugs," Alo added.
