Jakarta – The international community through the Consultative Group on Indonesia (CGI) has asked to prioritize a peaceful solution of the conflict in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) province.

"They support efforts at reaching a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Aceh on the basis of special autonomy status with an Indonesian unitary state," Coordinating Minister for Economy Dorodjatun Kuntjoro-Jakti said yesterday.

The states and the CGI donor institutional forum, he said, stated that the rule of law and administrative order, as well as attention to long term economic development are important things for the development of trust and confidence of the Acehnese people.

"And they wished that all these are included in the integrated operations," the minister said.

When asked whether it was true that the international community through the CGI forum has asked for easier access to Aceh for humanitarian operations, the minister said such humanitarian activities may enhance the confidence of the Acehnese people in the Indonesian government.

"The Indonesian government, in this case Coordinating Minister for Social Welfare Jusuf Kalla welcomed the willingness of the international community under the CGI forum to lend a helping hand in these efforts," he said.

He added that the Indonesian government provides access for humanitarian operations in Aceh through three international institutions, namely the World Health Organization, the International Red Cross Organization and the United Nations Development Program.

In reply to a question whether CGI demands some conditions for its loan commitment to Indonesia, Finance Minister Boediono said Indonesia has to work hard to smoothen the process of the loan disbursement.
