Jakarta (ANTARA) - Belarusian Ambassador to Indonesia Raman Ramanouski reaffirmed his country's commitment to supporting social initiatives in the Southeast Asian nation through his embassy's participation in the 57th Women's International Club (WIC) Jakarta Charity Bazaar.

"It is an honor for us, for the Embassy of Belarus in Indonesia, to take part in this event because we want to support the humanitarian initiatives of the Women's International Club in Jakarta," Ramanouski told ANTARA at the bazaar in Jakarta on Thursday (November 12).

Established in March 1950, WIC Jakarta is a non-profit, non-political organization open exclusively to women. Through its annual bazaar, the organization showcases products and cultures from around the world while raising funds for communities in need.

Guided by the motto "Shop with an Impact," WIC Jakarta has supported 360 senior citizens, 207 children, eight cancer patients, and 50 underprivileged university students with proceeds from previous charity bazaars.

Beyond supporting charitable causes, the embassy's participation also aims to introduce Belarus's culinary traditions, culture, and natural beauty to a wider audience in Indonesia.

Ramanouski said he hoped the showcase would raise awareness of Belarus through its chocolates and other products, while inspiring more visitors to travel to his country.

He noted that Belarusian chocolate has a distinctive flavor that is popular among travelers, often prompting them to purchase it repeatedly. Chocolate also accounted for the largest share of the gift items offered at the embassy's booth.

In addition to chocolate, the embassy offered baked goods, marshmallows, beverages, accessories, handicrafts, linen fabrics, and photo books featuring Belarus's tourist attractions and historical sites.

The booth also featured homemade products from Draniki, a Belarusian company operating in Bali.

Ramanouski also highlighted Belarus's reputation for producing high-quality, flavorful goods, particularly dairy products.

"In Belarus, we have a lot of dairy products. Belarus is famous for the quality in general of its products. They are very tasty, and we have very good dairy products," he said.
