Australia's PM in Aceh

Updated June 14, 2008 17:11:10

Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has arrived in Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh, where he's meeting regional leaders and visiting Australian aid projects.

Mr Rudd has inspected an Islamic primary school rebuilt with Australian aid money.

The new school replaces one destroyed in the 2004 tsunami, which killed more than 168-thousand people in Aceh alone.

The Prime Minister's visit to the province also includes meetings with aid workers and lunch with the provincial governor Irwandi Yusuf.

Mr Rudd is then scheduled to fly back to Australia on an air force jet.
