JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno appreciated the implementation of the "Solo Menari 2023" which took place at various points in Solo City involving thousands of art actors, especially dance arts.

"I congratulate Solo Dancing. This is a very unusual idea because it is very different from the others by making Pasar Gede the location of the event," said Sandiaga.Solo Dance is an annual event held in commemoration of World Dance Day and is included in the Karisma Event Nusantara (KEN) Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf). Solo The 2023 dance opens with the Bedhayan Naradipta Mass Dance, which is a sacred dance from the Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace or Solo Palace. This dance begins with a mountain carnival from Mangkunegaran Temple to Ngarsapura Corridor which is followed by Sandiaga with Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya Mangkunagono X. Meanwhile, at Pasar Gede, the Ramayana Dance will be held starting from the front of the market and then continues in the market.

Seeing the livelyness of Solo Dancing and the enthusiasm of the community, Sandiaga felt proud. Even while serving as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, this is the first time he has seen an event that really touches people's daily lives. "So the location of the event has never thought of it before. The usual thing is always in the meeting building, but this is in the market. So we can hear firsthand what the community needs, while at the same time seeing the joy of people who get entertainment that is displayed in front of them," he said. He also hopes that through this event economic growth and job creation in Solo City will be more open. "The curation of this event aims to create business opportunities and employment opportunities, which in 2024 the target upper limit is 4.4 million new jobs," he said.
