Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what diplomatic steps his Department is taking to support the Indonesian Government in tackling threats by terrorists in that country.

The British and Indonesian governments work closely together to tackle the threat of terrorism. We have had a Counter Terrorism capacity-building programme in Indonesia since the 2005 terrorist attack in Bali and deliver training to the Indonesian National Police through the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Co-operation. Our support includes teaching a broad range of counter terrorism investigation skills. We are also working to build first response capability for the emergency services. In March 2018, we supported the Bali regional government to run a live CT exercise. Finally, we are working with the Bali police to develop a cadre of police officers able to cascade CT Security Awareness training to the tourism sector.
