Former Finnish President to meet with VP Kalla

Former Finnish President Marti Ahtisaari is set to meet with Vice President Jusuf Kalla at his residence in Central Jakarta on Sunday.

The former Finnish president won the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize for his concerted efforts in solving various international conflicts, especially the one in Aceh. With the help of Ahtisaari, Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) reached a peace accord on Aug. 15 2005, which ended decades of war in the rebellious province of Aceh.

Antara news reported that Ahtisaari, who was also a UN Special Envoy at the Kosovo status process negotiations, will be in the capital until Feb. 24 and is also scheduled to visit Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam
