For this reason, he said, as a form of relationship building support, it is hoped that post-COVID-19 student exchanges can be achieved.

In Austria, he said, music is also known to be very advanced and has the potential that it can also learn to be better.

“Like the story of the late President Gus Dur at the time. That is why this cooperation must be serious and carried out in the future,” Governor Khofifah said.

“We want Austria’s support for the creative industry in the music sector, both from the direction and expertise of the musicians. Especially in East Java there is no special building for concerts, ”he added.

Meanwhile, Austrian Ambassador to Indonesia Dr. Johannes Peterlik welcomed the cooperation plan and hoped that it could be realized soon.

“Thank you for being welcomed in East Java. In the future, relations between East Java and Austria must remain close and even intensify,” he said.
