Businessmen to hold meeting in Aceh

JAKARTA: Some 250 businesspeople from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand are scheduled to meet in Aceh later this year, the head of the provincial branch of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry said on Wednesday.

"The meeting will show the world that security in Aceh, particularly in Sabang and Banda Aceh, is improving," Firmandes said.

He said the businesspeople would likely discuss possible investment opportunities in their respective countries.

"We do not expect any investment in Aceh as yet, but we merely want to show the world that Aceh is safe," he said. -- Antara
