TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - On Saturday, November 30, 2024, French Ambassador to Indonesia Fabian Penone paid PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) a visit at the Jakarta Railway Center.
According to the press release Tempo received on December 3, 2024, the two talked about getting ready for the Arthur Rimbaud plaque's inauguration, which is scheduled on December 5, 2024, at Tuntang Station in the Semarang Regency. Didiek Hartantyo, President Director of KAI, and the management took part in the conversation.
Arthur Rimbaud was one of the best poets of the 19th century and a well-known author worldwide. He was a prolific writer in his teens until deciding to give up writing in 1875, at the age of 21. He was born in Charleville, northern France, in 1854. After that, he made the decision to visit Indonesia and other countries.
On August 1, 1876, Arthur Rimbaud arrived in Semarang. He took the train to Tuntang Station, which is now the Museum of PT Kereta Api Indonesia, and then walked to Salatiga. After spending two weeks there, he vanished and then resurfaced in France four months later.
It is anticipated that the plaque's unveiling will serve as a historical reminder of the significance of the Ambarawa and Salatiga districts in the life of renowned French poet Arthur Rimbaud. KAI's support of this initiative, which symbolizes efforts to develop cultural links between Indonesia and France, is very appreciated, Ambassador Penone said.
This partnership is evidence of KAI's dedication to conserving history and promoting Indonesian culture globally, said Anne Purba, Vice President of Public Relations at KAI. Additionally, KAI will offer transportation services to ensure the event runs well and to highlight the company's excellent offerings to the distinguished French guests. Additionally, this partnership reinforces KAI's mission as a bridge across cultural heritage and modern transportation.
