Good Evening,
Bonsoir,
Om Swasty Astu.
First of all, on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, I would like to welcome you all to the Official Opening Ceremony of the (Sixth) 6th Meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. I would also like to convey our special welcome to Madame Irina Bokova for her first mission to Indonesia.
Every nation has its own unique cultural identity. These unique identities have motivated the nations to learn and to understand each other. In this respect, maintaining cultural diversity in the face of growing globalization and understanding intangible cultural heritage encourages mutual respect for inter-cultural understanding.
The value of intangible cultural heritage is not only reflected in its phisical form itself, but rather in the knowledge and wisdom that have been inherited from generation to generation.
As a nation with enormous forms of cultural, tangible and intangible heritages, Indonesia has committed to safeguard them at national as well as at the local levels. We have ractified the 2003 and 2005 UNESCO Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage. We have also committed to join other nations, states, and institutions by actively involved in the Intangible Cultural Heritage committee, and proud to host this 6th Meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee.
In this regard, I would like to take this opportunity to express our great honor and appreciation to UNESCO for entrusting the Government of Indonesia to host this very important event. In this regard, the government of Indonesia gives its fervent support to the work of the Committee.
Finally, we do hope this 6th Meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee will proceed successfully and give a meaningful contribution for humanity.
Thank you. Merci Beaucoup
Wassalamualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Setiap bangsa memiliki identitas budaya yang unik. Hal ini juga yang telah memotivasi bangsa untuk belajar dan memahami satu sama lain. Dalam hal ini, mempertahankan keragaman budaya dalam menghadapi era globalisasi serta dengan memahami warisan budaya tak berwujud mendorong saling menghormati antar-budaya.

Sebagai bangsa yang memiliki banyak bentuk warisan budaya, berwujud dan tidak berwujud, Indonesia telah berkomitmen untuk melindungi warisan budaya tersebut baik di tingkat nasional maupun di tingkat lokal. Kami telah mengikuti Konvensi mengenai warisan budaya immaterial UNESCO tahun 2003 dan 2005. Kami juga dengan serius telah bergabung dengan negara lain, negara, dan lembaga-lembaga dan secara aktif terlibat dalam komite Warisan Budaya tidak berwujud, dan bangga menjadi tuan rumah Pertemuan ke-6 Komite Antar Negara ini.

speech
SL: Good morning ladies and gentleman, thank you for occasion which has given to me. I am a representative of Public Communication of Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry will deliver my speech about Borobudur as one of UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage.
TL: selamat pagi, hadirin sekalian, terimaksih atas kesempatan yang diberikan kepada saya. Saya adalah perwakilan juru bicara kementrian pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif Indonesia yang akan membawakan pidato mengenai Borobudur sebagai satu warisan budaya dunia, UNESCO.
SL: Ladies and gentleman,
TL: hadirin yang saya hormati,
SL: Borobudur, or Barabudur, is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument near Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside the stupa. Furthermore, most of Buddhist uses the monument as shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. If we see the base of the monument and follows a path circumambulating to the top of the temple, we will see the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness).
TL: Borobudur, or Barabudur adalah sebuah penginggalan abad ke-9 dari kalangan Buddha Mahayana di dekat kota Magelang, Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. Monument yang luasnya 6 hektar, terdiri dari tiga fondasi utama, yang dihiasi oleh 2672 relief dan 504 patung Buddha. Atap utama terletak di titik tengah puncak fondasi, yang dikelilingi 72 patung buda di dalam stupa. Selain itu, kebanyakan pemeluk agama Buddha menggunakan monument ini sebagai tempat pemujaan sng Buddha dan sebagai tempat perjalanan spiritual. Jika kita lihat bagian dasar monumen dan mengikuti alur keli hingga ke puncak candi, kita akan melihat ada 3 tingkat kosmologi Buddha, yang bernama Kāmadhātu, Rupadhatu dan Arupadhatu.
SL: As one of Indonesian ancient temple, there such of evidences suggest that Borobudur contained the history of Buddhist kingdom when Syailendra dynasty leads the central Java. However, Borobudur was abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam, beside there was a big eruption of Merapi’s mountain.
TL: sebagai salah salah satu kuil kuno di Indonesia, ada bnayak fakta yang menunjukkan Borodur menyimpan sejarah kerajaan Buddha ketika dinasti Syailendra memimpin Jawa tengah. Akan tetapi, Borobudur mulai ditinggalkan ketika hancurnya kerajaan Hindu Buddha, pergantian ke Islam pada abad ke-14, disamping akibat letusan gunung Merapi.
SL: For long time, Borobudur was disappeared, until the worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. He made a report that shown one of big monument in deep of jungle Bumisegoro. Furthermore some research also hold in 1853 the by the Dutch government and found more evidences of it.
TL: Dalam waktu yang lama, Borobudur tenggelam, hingga diketahui keberadaannya setelah Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles mengemukakannya di tahun 1814. Beliau membuat laporan yang menyebutkan bahwa ada sebuah monument besar di tengah hutan Bumisegoro. Lebih lanjut, di tahun 1853, pemerintah Hindia Belanda juga melakukan penelitian dan menemukan hasil yang sama.
SL: Borobudur has been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Culture Heritage Site. Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Waisak, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.
TL: Borobudur telah mengalami beberapa renovasi. Proyek renovasi terbesar dilakukan pada tahun 1975 dan 1982 oleh pemerintah Indonesia dan UNESCO, dan monument itu juga masuk sebagai salah satu situs warisan budaya dunia oleh UNESCO. Borobudur juga tetap digunakan sebagai tempat ibadah, seatuh sekali umat Buddha Indonesia merayakan Waisak dan Borobudur juga sebagai tempat wista yang paling banyak dikunjungi.
That all of my speech, I hope the Indonesian’s government still keep Borobudur as one of World Cultural Heritage. Thank you.

Saman dance; intangible culture
Article D
The Saman dance is part of the cultural heritage of the Gayo people of Aceh province in Sumatra. Boys and young men perform the Saman sitting on their heels or kneeling in tight rows. Each wears a black costume embroidered with colourful Gayo motifs symbolizing nature and noble values. The leader sits in the middle of the row and leads the singing of verses, mostly in the Gayo language. These offer guidance and can be religious, romantic or humorous in tone. Dancers clap their hands, slap their chests, thighs and the ground, click their fingers, and sway and twist their bodies and heads in time with the shifting rhythm – in unison or alternating with the moves of opposing dancers. These movements symbolize the daily lives of the Gayo people and their natural environment. The Saman is performed to celebrate national and religious holidays, cementing relationships between village groups who invite each other for performances. The frequency of Saman performances and its transmission are decreasing, however. Many leaders with knowledge of the Saman are now elderly and without successors. Other forms of entertainment and new games are replacing informal transmission, and many young people now emigrate to further their education. Lack of funds is also a constraint, as Saman costumes and performances involve considerable expense.

Saman Dance is Officially UNESCO`s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage

Saman Dance is Officially UNESCO`s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage
Aceh`s Saman dance has officially been included in UNESCO`s intangible world cultural heritage list, an official said. The decision to include the Saman dance was reached at the 6th Session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage being held in Nusa Dua, Bali, from November 22 to 29, 2011, I Gusti Ngurah Putra, Head of Center for Public Communication of Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry, told the press here on Thursday.
"At the session, the Saman dance from Gayo Lues and environs in Aceh province was officially included in UNESCO`s List of intangible Cultural Heritage in urgent need of Safeguarding," he said.
The UNESCO meeting was participated by around 500 representatives from 69 countries, international NGOs, cultural experts, and the media.
The Sixth Session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was officially opened by Coordinating Minister for People`s Welfare Agung Laksono in the presence of UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova, Education and Culture Minister Muhammad Nuh, Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Mari Elka Pangestu, UNESCO`s Assistant Director General for Culture Francesco Bandarin.
Minister Agung expressed his appreciation for the inclusion of the Saman dance in the intangible world cultural heritage list.
The recognition of the Saman dance by UNESCO should become the beginning of serious efforts to preserve and promote the saman dance, he said.
The Saman dance is originally from Gayo Lues and environs in Aceh Province. It was created by a Gayo tribe in the 13th century and later developed by Syeh Saman to convey religious messages.
The Saman dance shows very dynamic movements and interesting harmonious sounds without the help of any musical instrument. In the dance, its performers sit cross-legged or kneel shoulder to shoulder in a straight line. They wear traditional Gayo clothes featuring the symbols of nature and noble values. In the past, all Saman dancers were male and their number was always odd.(Center for Public Communication)

Borobudur Not to be Taken Off UNESCO's List
ARTICLE A
Borobudur Not to be Taken Off UNESCO's List
Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has denied the allegation that the ancient Borobudur Temple in Central Java is to be scrapped from UNESO's world cultural heritages list.
"There has been no statement from UNESCO. Neither has there been a threat to scrap Borobudur from their cultural heritage list," I Gde Pitana, acting Director General of Historical and Archaelogical Affairs at the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, said here on Friday.
On the contrary, he said, the ministry had about a month ago received an official letter from UNESCO expressing the UN agency's appreciation for the Indonesian government's and people's quick response in cleaning up volcanic ashes that had fallen on the Buddhist shrine during a Mount Merapi eruption some time ago.
It was previously reported the world famous monument might be omitted from UNESCO's cultural heritages list because the Indonesian government and people were considered as not properly maintaining it.
According to the reports, the temple had become dirty, was in a state of neglect and still covered in Mt. Merapi volcanic material.
"I need to make it plain the talk about Borobudur going to ba scrapped by UNESCO is unfounded, Borobudur is still recognized as a world cultural heritage," he said.
UNESCO included Borobudur in its world cultural heritage list in 1991 recognizing it as as an ingenious master work of human creativity. The temple is believed to have been built over a period of 75 years and completed in 625 AD when Java was ruled by the Samaratungga dynasty.(Center for Public Communication*)
