Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Australia has reissued its travel advice for Indonesia, placing it at the same level as countries such as the Philippines, India, Turkey, and Thailand.
According to a press release from the Australian Embassy to Indonesia, received here on Friday, the overall level of travel alert is now lower. However, Australians travelling to Indonesia are still advised to exercise a high degree of caution.
"This is a positive development, based on a carefully considered assessment of the level of threat to Australian travellers in Indonesia," Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Greg Moriarty said.
Before this change, the Australian government used to advise its citizens to reconsider their need to travel to Indonesia.
The reissued advice continues to warn Australians that a terrorist attack could occur in Indonesia at any time.(IGT/T007)
