Discourse On Halal Fair Title, Pramono: I'm Sure This Is A New Milestone

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has a discourse to hold a halal exhibition and bazaar titled Halal Fair in Jakarta. Pramono wants the Halal Fair to be defended on a large scale.

According to Pramono, this activity has the potential to attract the interest of many people to visit because Indonesia is a country with a majority Muslim population.

"We will create cooperation in the Halal Fair which is really well designed and will bring tremendous benefits to the community, especially the people of Jakarta who are pluralistic, but dominant are Muslims," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, August 19.

Pramono sees that many locations can be held in the Halal Fair, starting from the National Monument (Monas) area, Banteng Field Park, Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM), to the AA Maramis Building belonging to the Ministry of Finance.

Pramono revealed that the DKI Provincial Government will cooperate with PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) in organizing the Halal Fair. Pramono asked BTN to choose where it will be held.

"Later, Mr. President Director (BTN) please survey it immediately, and I am sure this will become a new milestone and cannot be done half-heartedly. We will hold it at Monas, whether at the Banteng field to Maramis, or at the TIM," said Pramono.

He continued, BTN President Director Nixon Napitupulu assessed that the Halal Fair event could bring in more foreign tourists to visit Jakarta.

Nixon hopes that the tourism development cooperation between BTN and the DKI Provincial Government can produce value and benefits for the people of Jakarta.

"Later, we will increase the Jakarta Halal Fair brand, so that apart from the tourism industry, it can also be seen that we really encourage religious tourism to also be in Jakarta," said Nixon.
