Jakarta, (Antara) - Accompanied by First Lady Iriana, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will led the Parahyangan Charm Independence Festival in Bandung, West Java, on Saturday.
President Jokowi and his entourage departed from the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base at around 11:20 a.m. West Indonesia Standard Time (WIB) and arrived in Bandung at 11:45 a.m. WIB.
On arrival in the city of Bandung, the president and first lady will attend and lead the Parahyangan Charm Independence Carnival 2017.
Themed "Lightning Up the Fire of Spirit and Work Together," the carnival features a series of activities to mark the 72nd Anniversary of the Independence of Indonesia.
The carnival will also be enlivened by various communities not only from Bandung and West Java but also involve the cities that often hold international-level festivals, such as the Jember Fashion Carnival, Solo Batik Carnival, and Tomohon International Flower Festival.
The Independence Carnival is being held in line with President Jokowi's idea to organize such an event in a different region and not just in Jakarta.(*)
