The Indonesian Embassy In Beijing Will Open An Internship Program For ISI Students In Hainan

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Embassy in Beijing will create an internship program for Indonesian Art Institute (ISI) students on Hainan Island, China.

"Incidentally in Hainan there is a desire to establish a China-Indonesia Cultural and Innovation Center," said Beijing Embassy Education and Culture Attache Yudil Chatim in Beijing, Sunday, quoted by Antara.

He admitted that several times community leaders and the provincial government of Hainan had conveyed this wish.

In tropical climate provinces in the southern region of mainland China, many Indonesian diaspora are citizens of this country.

However, they still preserve various cultures of the archipelago, one of which is the village with the nuances of Bali.

"They, there are also those who still speak Indonesian. They need dance teachers, traditional music teachers," said Atdikbud.

Hainan is the only province in China that can be visited by foreigners using only visas when arriving (visa on arrival/VoA).

"This convenience allows Indonesian students to do internships or real work lectures (KKN) there," said Yudil.

The internship program, he said, would also have a significant impact on the Indonesia-China partnership, especially in cultural exchange.

"This program will also later become a place to promote our tourism in China so that people who have come to Bali will have a strong desire to travel to the island of Bali," he said.
