The Indonesian Marching Band Gita Bahana Nusantara Jakarta on a tour in Europe paid a courtesy visit to the Embassy of Indonesia in The Hague. Before coming to the Netherlands the band performed in Italy.
In fact, the band was in the Netherlands to participate in a World Brass Band Competition, WMC Kerkrade-Limburg 2017.
The band ended on the third place and won three Bronze medals, not bad for a novice. A presentation was organized at the Nusantara auditorium of the Indonesian Embassy during the summer. The youngsters put on a dazzling spectacle. H. E. Ambassador I Gusti Agung Wesaka Puja, thanked the band for their excellent contribution in promoting Indonesia via music.
Also at the Nusantara Auditorium of the Indonesian Embassy, in July, Staff members of the Embassy of Indonesia bid farewell to three of their colleagues who have come to the end of their stint in The Hague.
Ambassador I Gusti Agung Wesaka Puja attended the function and presented the departing colleagues with a token of appreciation for the service they rendered to the Indonesian Mission in The Hague.
The departing colleagues are Mr. Erwyn Franz Ramis Wantania, Immigration Attache Mr. Aditya Timoranto, First Secretary and Ms. Dr. I Pradjarahardja, Huisarts. The same event served as a welcome party to the newly arrived colleagues.
