Apart from security-defence point of view, it’s important in business
connectivity too. In Aceh when the tide is low, one can even see Andaman
Nicobar island. Now, Andaman and Aceh are connected via sea-route.
The potential of business connectivity between Aceh, Sumatera islands and
Andaman and Nicobar Islands extend immense opportunities for economic
cooperation that can be developed in tourism, cruise tourism and eco-
tourism; air/ sea transport connectivity and transportation to facilitate trade
between the two sides. Definitely it will strengthen the relationships.
