Netherlands offers experts to Aceh

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: The Netherlands has offered its
infrastructure experts to Aceh's administration to help build a
flood control system and wave breaker protection in coastal
areas.

The offer was made by Dutch Ambassador P.R. Brower at a
meeting with Aceh Vice Governor Zainuddin AG here yesterday,
Antara reported.

Zainuddin told Brower that Aceh will build infrastructure
sector projects, including 16 thoroughfares.

Brower, in return, said he would encourage Dutch
businesspeople to help build infrastructure in Aceh.

"Although the Dutch government no longer gives financial
assistance to Indonesia, it doesn't mean that the two countries
cannot forge a cooperative relationship," he said.

The joint ventures can be established between companies,
institutions and universities, he added. (swe)
