Britain to review travel advisory

JAKARTA: Visiting British Secretary of State for Foreign and
Commonwealth Affairs Jack Straw said on Friday his government
planned to review and change the travel advisory against
Indonesia.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Indonesian Vice
President Hamzah Haz on Friday, Straw underlined, however, that
it was his government's duty to ensure the security of its
citizens.

"We have already improved the travel advice against Indonesia,
but we will review and change the travel advice as soon as we are
able," the minister said.

He explained that the British government hoped to give the
safest and most comforting impression possible on Indonesia as
dictated by facts.

The minister continued his Southeast Asian tour to Kuala
Lumpur after the meeting. --JP.
