SOLO - Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka introduced the superior product of Solo batik to the Paris market through the MSME exhibition in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy in France and the Shopee company which was held at the Le BHV Marais shopping center.

Gibran said the exhibition was held to introduce batik from Solo to the world. Gibran deliberately brought various collections and batik motifs in Paris.

"Tomorrow we will introduce why the motifs are different. Each motif and color of the batik that is brought has its own philosophy. This is what makes batik very rich," he said at a talkshow entitled Buah Karya Bangsa in Paris which was followed online, Antara, Tuesday, June 7th.

At the exhibition there are as many as 1,200 products that will be exhibited. Not only batik, various cultures from Solo were also introduced. Through the exhibition, Gibran hopes that French citizens and tourists visiting the country can receive and buy products from Solo.

"Moreover, Paris has been known as the world's fashion center. The exhibition itself will be held for the next month," he said.

On the same occasion, the Indonesian Ambassador to France, Andorra, Monaco, and the Permanent Delegation of Indonesia to UNESCO Mohamad Oemar said that not just any product could be introduced at Le BHV Marais because the team from BHV Marais had curation experts.

"So not only the marketing team but they also have market research experts. Experts in certain fields are displayed, for example fashion, painting or handicrafts. So they can determine whether their products can be accepted by the French public or not," he said.
