Geneva – Fresh peace talks between Indonesian government officials and Aceh separatists could resume in Geneva at the end of the month, a spokesman for the centre that mediates the discussions said on Thursday.

The dates are not confirmed but the parties are aiming to meet at the end of April or beginning of May, the spokesman for the Geneva-based Henry Dunant Centre told AFP.

No details on who is expected to take part, nor where the closed-door talks would take place have been released.

The governor of Aceh, Abdullah Puteh, earlier on Thursday announced that the talks would resume soon in Geneva but gave no details.

After the last talks in February, the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) said it had agreed to discuss autonomy as a starting point for talks but had not dropped demands for full independence.
