Indonesian Consulate General in Karachi recently organised the demonstration and training of Indonesian traditional batik making.
The event was officially opened by the Indonesian Consul General in Karachi Rossalis R Adenan and attended by some Pakistani arts students, wives of diplomatic communities, and Pakistani arts lovers who are interested in knowing and understanding Indonesian traditional batik.
President of the Pakistan-Indonesia Friendship Society Mahmudulaziz and the President of the Pakistan-Indonesia Business Forum Majid Haji Muhammad also attended the event.
In his remarks, the Indonesian CG mentioned that the purpose of this event was to provide opportunity to the Pakistani nationals and diplomatic community in Karachi, particularly to the ladies and arts lovers, to learn and to know more about Indonesian traditional batik. He also mentioned that as the biggest archipelagic country in the world with more than 17,000 islands and 240 million population, it would be impossible to visit and live in Indonesia without knowing one of the country’s most highly developed arts form called batik as the traditional fabric of the country.
