Mr. Pradeep Kumar Hospitaled with Consulate General (Consul General) of India in Medan, Dr. Shalia Shah, in the Room of the Aceh Regional Secretary, Banda Aceh, Tuesday 17 April 2018.

During the meeting, Indian Ambassador Pradeep Kumar Rawat offered the Indian Cultural Week performance or Indian cultural festival to be held in Aceh.

According to Pradeep, India's cultural festival has been held in several cities in Indonesia, such as Bandung and Bali. In the near future, a similar festival will also be held in the city of Malang.

In this festival we will perform various activities such as culinary, film screenings, culture, exhibitions and so on, said Pradeep.

Pradeep said the cultural festival can be adapted to the conditions and customs that exist in Aceh.

To format the activity we submit the same Government of Aceh, so later we can determine what activities we can carry out in the festival, said Pradeep.

In addition to the cultural festival, Pradeep also delivered a number of other cooperation offerings in education, health training and tourism.

The Aceh Secretary welcomes the offer of a cultural festival in Aceh. However, the Secretary said, it is necessary to discuss further on the internal Government of Aceh to decide on the offer.

It certainly can not be decided today, we will discuss it and later we will pass it back to the Ambassador of India, said Dermawan.

On that occasion, Dermawan also promoted the Aceh Cultural Week which was held this year. The event will be attended by all districts of Aceh. Sekda Aceh mentions PKA activities will also invite the ambassadors of friendly countries.
