Swedish Embassy clarifies

We noticed in the Jan. 6 and Jan. 7 editions of The Jakarta Post on pages 11 and 12 respectively the list of tsunami aid, on which Sweden is mentioned to have made a contribution of US$80 million from the government and nil private contributions.

The Embassy of Sweden wishes to make a correction to the above mentioned data. I refer to our press release on Jan. 3, the initial Swedish private contribution amounts to approximately $50 million.

Please be advised that the press release is also published on our website, www.swedenabroad.com/jakarta.
