JAKARTA - Chairman of the Golkar Party Airlangga Hartarto, attended a chaotic meeting of his foreign relatives in Surakarta, Central Java, Friday, September 16.

Airlangga said that the Surakarta area has a 'twin engine' in an effort to promote culture. This is related to the existence of Kasunanan and Mangkunegaran.

"If it is likened to a plane, Solo is like a twin engine plane, one is state, one is casunan. The history is before Indonesia's history. The history is there," said Airlangga in his statement, Friday, September 16, evening.

According to the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, the two Javanese cultural centers really need to continue to be treated and even moved forward. Therefore, Airlangga asked the Mayor of Surakarta, Gibran Rakabuming, who was also present, to continue to actively participate in preserving the two cultural centers.

"Mr. Wali nitip, Kasunanan also tweeted, it's not simple. But if it is tidied up, it will be neater. Solo with two cultural centers," he said.

Airlangga stated that both the central and regional governments have also been trying very hard to encourage the promotion of cultural conservation in Solo. He made an example, as in the momentum of the G20 Presidency, a number of working groups were directed to hold activities in Surakarta.

"We encourage the G20 presidency, we have many events, one of the events is encouraged to organize in the city of Solo, namely trade industry and investment working group," he said.

Airlangga assessed that several tourist attractions are important to improve, including the Mangkunegaran palace, as a cultural storefront.
