The Indonesian government has released a travel warning on Monday for Indonesians planning to travel to France, as well as those in the country following last week's attacks in Paris that claimed 129 lives.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir told thejakartapost.com that the travel warning 'followed the state of emergency status set by the French government.'
Indonesian citizens traveling to France were urged to monitor the situation updates on the French government's official websites and be aware of the security conditions.
While those already in France must 'stay on alert and avoid public places and obey suggestions and policies in effect.'

'Around 103 victims have already been identified, some officials of other nations, such as Belgium, Portugal, Romania and Spain, have stated that their citizens were victims," Yoseph said.
