Jakarta (IINA) – Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that he will make Eid cermony a tradition to visit the country's various regions to observe celebrations of the Eid in the future.
"Thank God, we could meet the people of Aceh. I think this (observing Eid celebrations in regions) can become a tradition. I am happy I had the opportunity to meet the people and exchange forgiveness with them," Jokowi told Indonesian News Agency ANTARA on the Eid occasion.
He added that by visiting regions, he can meet with the people directly and see how they celebrate the festival.
"Last night, we had a grand Takbir event. The Eid prayers performed this morning were also lively and carried out seriously," Jokowi remarked.
"I think this is something I want to experience again. I will make it a tradition in the coming years," he added before leaving Aceh airport for Solo, Central Java, on Friday.
