On visit to Indonesia

In The Jakarta Post of Dec. 3, 1998, you quote Bisnis Indonesia in your column "Other Opinion" of page 4 as follows: "The United States, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan have once again cautioned their citizens not to visit Indonesia".

As far as the Netherlands are concerned, this information is wrong. There is no negative advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands to Dutch citizens with respect to traveling to Indonesia.
