ACEH, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam: State of civil emergency
administrator and Governor Abdullah Puteh issued a permit for
foreign tourists to visit Simelue and Aceh Singkil, as the two
regencies are now considered safe.

"In the past, foreigners were allowed to visit only Sabang.
However, as security conditions in Aceh Singkil and Simelue are
improving, we can now issue permits," he said on Thursday.

It is hoped that the move will boost the economy in the two
regencies. -- Antara
