The Indonesian Embassy in Mexico City commemorated the 200^th anniversary of Mexican Independence on Sunday (26/9). During the commemoration, the Indonesian Embassy performed dances from many regions in Indonesia, namely Batak, Betawi, Balinese and Minangkabau. The performance involved Darmasiswa alumni, recipients of the Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship at the Francisco I Madera Theater, Tuxtla Gutierrez. This year’s anniversary of Mexico's Independence is different from the previous one, because it involved foreign embassies in Mexico, including the Indonesian Embassy in Mexico City.

Indonesian Ambassador to Mexico, Cheppy T. Wartono conveyed the importance of introducing cultures between Indonesia and Mexico to increase people-to-people contact, so it can open opportunities for further cooperation to materialize the welfare of the two countries. The event of Indonesian cultural performances in Chiapas was continued to explore economic cooperation by Ambassador, Cheppy Wartono, Governor of Chiapas, Dr. Rutilio Escandón Cadenas and Minister of Agriculture of Chiapas, Mtra  Zaynia Andrea Gil Vázquez through a meeting on Monday (27/9).

Chiapas is a state in Mexico which is fertile, green, and rich in natural wealth and it has lots of potential. Beginning with the commemoration of the 200 years of Mexican independence through Indonesian cultural performances, it is expected that it will continue with concrete cooperation between the Governments of Chiapas-Mexico and Indonesia.
