President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has given instructions to conduct improvements in the tourist attraction in Kampong Ulos Hutaraja located in Lumban Suhi-suhi Toruan, Pangururan Sub-district, Samosir District, North Sumatra Province.

"This year, the improvement process is to be started, and buildings deemed unfit to be in Ulos will be moved from the traditional village to make it a very attractive tourist destination," Jokowi noted on Tuesday as quoted in a statement issued by the Presidential Secretariat in Jakarta on Wednesday.

The president and First Lady Iriana were welcomed by a traditional dance performed by the local children, and later, they also danced with them.

They entered one of the traditional houses in the kampong and conversed with local villagers, constituting mostly traditional Batak cloth weavers. (Antara)
