In the occasion, Jakarta Provincial Government emphasized its commitment to hold WRHF once in every two years.

WRHF is entirely a cultural event. The upcoming event would present activities starting from exhibition, seminar, workshop, until sultanate palace carnival

“According to our commitment, WRHF will be held once in every two years. Through its implementation next year, it is expected there would be more participants and wider publicity. Thus, the tourists would be attracted to visit the capital city,” stated Head of Jakarta Tourism and Culture Department, Arie Budhiman, Friday (12/12) night.

According to Budhiman, WRHF is a very interesting cultural event. It is very suitable to be held in Jakarta, which becomes one of the proofs to affirm city administration’s vision and mission to make Jakarta a cultural city.

“WRHF is entirely a cultural event. The upcoming event would present activities starting from exhibition, seminar, workshop, until sultanate palace carnival. This festival is held not only to attract tourists, but also the positioning of Jakarta as a cultural city,” he uttered.

In this workshop, Your Majesty Tengku Abdul Aziz, a family relative of Kampung Gelam Palace, Singapore, thanked Jakarta Provincial Government for successfully holding the 2013 WRHF. With this festival, the people become more familiar with the history.

“We thank you for organizing the 2013 WRHF that has brought us closer to the history,” he said.
