No U.S. Travel Warning Exists for Indonesia

U.S. EMBASSY PRESS RELEASE
November 13, 2008
No U.S. Travel Warning Exists for Indonesia

Bahasa Indonesia
The U.S. Government canceled its travel warning on May 23, 2008, and contrary to recent statements, this warning has not been reinstated. While the U.S. Embassy routinely issues warden messages to American Citizens who are registered with the Embassy, none of these supersede the lifting of the travel warning, nor should they be construed as restrictions on American citizens, or other nationals, from traveling to Indonesia.
The travel warning was cancelled due to objective improvements made by the Government of Indonesia in its current security situation. Indonesia has not experienced a major terrorist attack since October 2005, and the Government of Indonesia has disrupted, arrested and prosecuted numerous terrorist groups and elements.
