Receiving an invitation to celebrate King Charles III, Ambassador Desra Believes he has the mandate to attend the sakra event, when the Indonesian government is preparing for the ASEAN Summit next week.

"Next year the two countries will also celebrate 75 years of bilateral relations. So maybe more in preparation for the future, to take advantage of this momentum in the hope of bringing our partnership forward and developing with Britain under the leadership of King Charles III," he explained.

Furthermore, Ambassador Desra said he would wear national clothing when participating in theappropriation later, as well as to promote Indonesia.

"This is a topic that is very interesting for many people. The royal protocol specifically regulates the procedures for dressing, for each different event. For coronaration, male guests are advised to use the morning dress, as I used during the late Queen Elizabeth II ceremony of honor (lying on state) last year. However, national clothing is also allowed. For women, usually national dresses or clothes. Because this time the event is a celebration, maybe I will choose to use national clothing to at the same time promote Indonesia," he explained.

Asked about any special provisions regarding the course of the event for invited guests, who were informed by Buckingham Palace, he said there were but details would only be submitted ahead of the security-related event.

"Detailed arrangements are usually only informed before the event for security reasons. There is a Royal protocol that determines position or precessance arrangements, even the Royal family seating sequence also has a formula. This is part of diplomatic manners. Detailed information will only be informed to approach the event," he said.

"What is clear is that I imagine the event will be very lively and historic because this is the celebration of the first pilgrimage since June 1953 or around 70 years. State events related to the Royal family are usually magnificent and crowded with visitors," he said.

"As a guest of the state, of course, we must understand very well the do's and the don't''. The coronasi event is also a sacred thing for the Kingdom. The Royal protocol regulates many detailed things and we must obey this," concluded Ambassador Desra.
