Comments on Swedish-Indonesian relations

Sweden fully supports Indonesia's territorial integrity and takes the position that a solution to the conflict in Aceh must be based on the special autonomy that, by law, should already apply in Aceh.

We have also declared that there is no Swedish or international support for Acehnese independence and that the only realistic solution is a negotiated solution based on the same principles as last year's cease-fire agreement.

Sweden does not support GAM as an organization in any way, nor does GAM have any official status in Sweden.

On the Embassy of Sweden's web site, www.swedemb-jakarta.com, under "News from the Embassy" you can read more comments by the Minister For Foreign Affairs, Mrs Anna Lindh, on this issue.
