His Majesty’s Aceh Visit Touches A Cord

Bandar Seri Begawan – The Indonesian government has highly appreciated the visit by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei, to Aceh on Tuesday.

Dr Alwi Abdurrahman Shihab, the Coordinating Minister for the People's Welfare of Indonesia, told Radio Television Brunei (RTB) that His Majesty's day-long visit to Aceh further portrayed the friendship between Brunei and Indonesia.

It also reflected Brunei’s concern over the Tsunami victims in Aceh, he said.

His Majesty was the first foreign head of state to make such a visit to Aceh.

Meanwhile, the Brunei humanitarian relief contingent in Aceh told the RTB News that they were most touched by His Majesty's visit to take a first-hand look at the relief operation.
