JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo attended the inauguration of Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya (KGPAA) Mangkunegara X which was held at Mangkunegaran Temple, Solo, Central Java, Saturday, March 12. Based on observations in Solo, Saturday it was reported that President Jokowi arrived at the Mangkunegaran Temple at around 11.50 WIB.

Wearing a suit and dark blue trousers, Jokowi immediately climbed the "paringgitan" where Adipati Mangkunegara X sat. After shaking hands with Adipati Mangkunegara X and guests who also sat at the paringgitan, Jokowi sat down with Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana X and Ratu Hemas.

After talking for a few minutes, President Jokowi then said goodbye and left the location at around 12.00 WIB.

Meanwhile, on that occasion the Governor of DIY Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana X hoped that Adipati Mangkunegara X could continue to preserve culture.

"If I only hope, earlier in his speech it was about culture," he said, quoted from ANTARA.

Meanwhile, President Jokowi is in Solo for a working visit as well as attending a family wedding.

However, Jokowi did not stay at his private residence in Sumber Village, Banjarsari District, Solo, but at the Presidential Palace, Gedung Agung Yogyakarta.

Regarding the inauguration, previously Gusti Pangeran Haryo (GPH) Bhre Cakrahutomo Wira Sudjiwo officially became KGPAA Mangkunegara X through an inauguration procession held at Pura Mangkunegaran Surakarta.
