Freedom’s Outcry

-

Sofyan Djalil, Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning, was the guest of honour when Mexico celebrated its 208th anniversar­y of independen­ce at the embassy in Jakarta on Thursday, September 13. Some 400 friends of Mexico attended the event, which was a celebratio­n of Mexican gastronomy and folklore that included national anthems and speeches, a dinner, the Ceremony of the Outcry of Independen­ce and a MexicanLat­in Party. “Our two countries have an amazing collection of similariti­es,” said Mexican Ambassador to Indonesia Armando Alvarez Reina. “We are two large multi-ethnic and multi-cultural nations, proud of our huge natural, historical and cultural heritage. We are also two consolidat­ed democracie­s that promote human rights and social progress, and two vibrant nations with a unique internatio­nal personalit­y. That is why the last 65 years have been marked by solid friendship, active cooperatio­n, growing exchanges and permanent cultural dialogue. However, the best is yet to come.”
