Hallo
On November 14, 2025, the Indonesian Embassy in Beirut presented the Indonesian Cultural Soirée—a stage for cultural diplomacy that brought together Indonesian culture, art, music, dances, and cuisine.
This diplomatic reception was attended by more than 500 guests, including six guests of honor from the Lebanese government, Minister of Labor H.E. Mr. Mohammad Haidar, Minister for Economy and Trade of the Republic of Lebanon, H.E. Dr. Amer Bisat, Minister of Tourism, H.E. Mrs. Laura Kazen Lahoud, and three members of parliament: H.E. Dr. Bilal Abdallah (Chair of the Indonesia-Lebanon Friendship Group); H.E. Dr. Imad Al Hout; and H.E. Mr. Adib Abdel Massih. This showed Lebanon’s warm appreciation for the relationship between the two countries.
The event opened with Ratoh Jaroe, the national anthem, and remarks on the commitment to cooperation and the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045.
One of the highlight of the event was the cutting of the tumpeng and the awarding of the Culture Medal to the Garuda UNIFIL Contingent, a symbol of harmony between cultural diplomacy and Indonesia’s contribution to world peace. 🌍✨
The Jaranan dance, Rampak Gendang, Indonesian cuisine, and the Indonesian Corner enriched the atmosphere, concluding with karaoke and a flash mob that brought all guests together in camaraderie.
Through the Indonesian Cultural Soirée, the Indonesian Embassy in Beirut built a cultural bridge that presented Indonesia not only as a country of art and tradition, but also as a warm, friendly nation that is ready to work together with Lebanon. ✨🇮🇩🤝🇱🇧
In one night, diplomacy transformed into a space for connection: Indonesia became more visible, meaningful dialogue was created, and new opportunities for collaboration began to grow—like seeds of friendship ready to blossom further.
