ACEH EXPECTING ECONOMIC COOP WITH MIDEAST
Banda Aceh, May 19 (ANTARA) - Aceh is expecting cooperation particularly in the economic field with Islamic countries from the Middle East to improve its people's economy.

The vice governor said the Aceh government wished investors from the Middle East could invest in Aceh that has a lot of natural resources for exploitation.
He said Aceh's natural resources had attracted a lot of foreign investors but almost none of them were from Islamic countries in the Middle East.
He said Aceh's majority Moslem population was one of the factors similar with the Middle East countries.
Foreign investors that have expressed interest to invest in Aceh are from Jeju, South Korea, Malaysia and other Asian countries, he said.
After tsunami in 2004, Aceh is open to the international world and it is more open following the signing of a peace agreement in Helsinki. The Aceh government has even invited foreign investors to come to Aceh.
Nazar said the Aceh government had even sent a delegation to the countries interested in investing in the region.
