        "content": "<p>The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is committed to assisting with\nfacility improvements and encouraging the enhancement of community\ncapacity to develop Betawi culture while strengthening residents\u2019\neconomies. Therefore, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Rano Karno hopes\nthat the community will continue to be creative, including creating\ndistinctive Betawi batik motifs that represent the five-century journey\nof the capital. \u201cInitiatives like this are important. As a global city,\nJakarta must not forget its cultural roots. It is precisely from this\ncultural richness that the city\u2019s identity grows and is passed down.\nCulture is not merely a heritage, but the spirit that gives meaning to\nevery development in Jakarta,\u201d said Rano in a statement in Jakarta on\nSaturday. Rano attended the launch of distinctive Sukapura Betawi Batik\nat the Sukapura Betawi Cultural Village in Cilincing, North Jakarta, on\nFriday (10\/4). He also assessed that the existence of cultural areas,\nsuch as the Sukapura Betawi Cultural Village, plays an important role in\npreserving traditions. He urged that batik training be continuously\nincreased, including the development of techniques such as eco print.\n\u201cThis batik activity can sustain the residents here. Therefore, I urge\nit to develop further,\u201d Rano stated. He also hopes that Sukapura Betawi\nBatik will not only be known in Jakarta but will also be able to\npenetrate national and international markets. To that end, collaboration\nbetween the government, artisans, business actors, cultural activists,\nand the younger generation must be continuously strengthened so that\nthis cultural heritage develops further and becomes a source of pride.\nOn that occasion, Rano also appreciated the artistic performances by\nresidents, including children. He is optimistic that through continuous\ncoaching, they can perform in wider public spaces.<\/p>",
