2 Years Of Suffering, Jakarta Fair Kemayoran 2022 Finally Opens Anies

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan together with a number of figures inaugurated the opening of the 2022 Jakarta Fair Kemayoran (JFK) at the JIExpo Kemayoran arena, Central Jakarta, Thursday, June 9, evening.

The inauguration began by pressing a button that sounded a siren as a sign that the 2022 Jakarta Fair Kemayoran (JFK) was officially opened. This was followed by a fireworks display which added to the splendor of the opening of JFK.

"The Jakarta Fair Kemayoran 2022 is officially declared open," said DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan on the main stage.

In his remarks, Anies said that after three years the Jakarta Fair Kemayoran was finally reopened. Even the event, which is considered to be the largest event in Asia, has existed for decades in the city of Jakarta.

"The last three years ago, now Alhamdulillah, the pandemic is under control. The Jakarta Fair started 53 years ago, this is the 53rd time," he said.

Anies hopes that the Jakarta Fair Kemayoran will get bigger, because it is the longest and most comprehensive event in Asia.

"It's not just the biggest ride on the Jakarta scale, but regionally. From the latest record in 2019, visitors reached 6.8 million people. This year, hopefully, that number can be passed again," he said.
