Bali, 10 October 2023 – Minister of Communications and Informatics Budi Arie Setiadi guarantees that the Media Center Facilities during the 1st High-Level Meeting (HLM) of the Archipelagic and Island States (AIS) Forum will support the work of reporting journalists.

Apart from ensuring speedy editorial work, the media center also aims to provide a comfortable environment for the media crew after a long day of reporting at the HLM of AIS Forum, which is held on 10—11 October 2023 in the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC) Badung Regency, Bali Province.

"The facilities are excellent, ensuring the comfort of fellow journalists and assisting them in carrying out their duties," he stated on Wednesday, 10 October at the HLM of AIS Forum Media Center.

The Media Center has a high-speed internet connection. The Ministry of Communications and Informatics (MCI) has also taken precautions against potential network scrambling at both the 1st HLM venue and the airport when the Head of State is present to ensure that journalists can carry out their work without disruptions.

"Bandwidth and frequency are good. Everything can be used properly. There are 250 media covering the event, including 24 foreign media," said the Minister of Communications and Informatics.

In relation to the anticipation of potential disruptions to telecommunications networks, the minister expressed confidence in addressing this issue. He cited that it was not difficult, as his ministry had dealt with it on multiple occasions, particularly during international events. “The MCI ensures that communication systems and signal frequencies remain good," said the minister.

The massage chair is one of the favorite facilities for both media personnel and visitors at the media center. Budi Arie also took the time to greet several on-duty journalists. "How is it? Did you get enough food? Have you tried the coffee? Is it good?" To which they answered, "All good, Sir." (Elvira Inda Sari/Wahyu/SC/WW)
