The East Java Regional People's Representative Council received a visit from a legislative delegation from St. Petersburg, Russia, to explore opportunities for cooperation in tourism and culture.
East Java DPRD Chairman M. Musyafak Rouf welcomed the visit and considered it an opportunity to strengthen relations between the regions through cultural exchanges and the development of the tourism sector.
"We express our appreciation for the visit from the St. Petersburg Legislature. This is an effort to build cooperation between the East Java Provincial DPRD and the Russian legislature, especially in cultural exchanges and the development of regional potential," Musyafak said in Surabaya on Friday.
The visit marked a historic moment as it was one of the first visits by a foreign legislature to the East Java DPRD.
The St. Petersburg delegation was led directly by the Chairman of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, Alexander Belsky.
