CENTRAL LOMBOK - Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) stated that the presence of foreign tourists or passengers on French warships leaning at Gili Mas Port, West Lombok, could strengthen tourism promotions at the Mandalika Circuit, the Special Economic Zone (KEK) of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

MGPA President Director Priandi Satria in a written statement in Central Lombok, Saturday, said it was very pleased with the presence of the crew of the Charles de Gaulle (R91) aircraft carrier to see and enjoy the Mandalika Circuit.

"Of course their presence will be a conversation with various other crew members, with the hope that more foreigners will know about the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit in Mandalika, Lombok NTB and Indonesia," he said.

Their presence will also report and introduce Mandalika, Lombok, NTB and Indonesia in the world, with the hope that the arrival rate of local and foreign tourists will increase.

"The Mandalika Circuit does not belong to the MGPA, it belongs to Indonesia, which must continue to be raised for Indonesia," he also said.

On that occasion, his party invited all the crew present alternately to try various activities such as track-experience, lambaq, drifting to track-day on the circuit. Several crews even tried to drive a drive and tried the Pertamina Safety Car.

"Indonesia can be better known in the world through their presence and through reports in various local media and foreign media," he said again.

Korem 162 Chief of Staff Wira Bhakti Colonel Inf Wirawan Eko Prasetyo, together with the NTB Regional Secretary Lalu Gita Aryadi, welcomed the arrival of the French warship Charles de Gaulle.

"The French Navy's advanced warship arrived at Gili Mas Port as a regular visit," said Eko.

One of the largest and most modern warships in the world, said Eko again, carried more than 1,780 crew members.

"This sophisticated ship has a length of 262 meters and is equipped with various sophisticated weapons and a number of fighter aircraft," he also said.
