    I have the honour and delight to deliver my heartfelt congratulation on the occasion of the Indonesia Photo Exhibition in Seoul and Daegu Which is initiated by  Mr. Toh  Jin-Gyu.

    Since Indonesia and Korea signed the Cultural Cooperation Agreement on November 28, 2000, the two countries promote much to develope cultural exchange program in many field.

    nevertheless, since 1996, East Java preceded to have a close and fruitful relationship with Gyeongnam as a sister province. The photo exhibition organized by  Mr. Toh is a concrete form of cultural cooperation amid two people.
    therefore I believe two nations and the people
    feel more close about Indonesia.

    For your information, there are about 500 ethnic groups in Indonesia spreading from Sabang, in northen Sumatra, to Merauke,  in Papua,  which have maintained their traditions, languages and dialects.

    Though we are unified as Indonesia nation as the Indonesia's  motto says : " Bhineka Tunggal  Ika" or " Unity in differential".


    On this time, the great Bromo Mountain in East Java, Indonesia,  will be specially depicted through photo exhibition. and through  Mr. Toh's  remarkable photographs,  viewers will be able to feel the greatness and beauty of Bromo mountain while the local inhabitants performing their everyday activities and performing ritual according to their faith.
    he also captured
    every aspects of the Bromo mountain into smallest detail,  resulted a complete perspective and understanding towards the object of the exhibition.

    The largest annual offering ceremony of kasada is held on the 14th day of kasada,  the twelfth month in the Tenggerese calendar.
    It is a dazzling event where villagers from the
    surrounding areas bring their humble offering to the holy volcano. people believe that the God of Fire live and guard them from the evil there.

    Mr.Toh has brought out the photos in an excellent manner that I have to congratulate him.

    I also thank him for organizing this exhibition,  which I am sure the public in Seoul and Daegu will appreciate.

    I wish  Mr. Toh  every success not only on his business venture but also in his profession of photography.

    Lastly, to experience all these interesting and exciting moments captured in  Mr. Toh's  photographs,  we are welcome to have your visit to Bromo mountain and other points of interest in East Java.
