Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Kadarmanta Baskara Aji, who read the remarks of the Governor of DIY, hoped that the batik exhibition could build enthusiasm and improve the image of Yogyakarta batik for the welfare of the community. 

Furthermore, said Aji, the specialty of Yogyakarta batik itself is also increasingly meaningful, along with the inauguration of Yogyakarta as the World Batik City by the World Craft Council (WCC) in Dongyang, China on October 18, 2014.

The award was given, because DIY was considered to meet the seven criteria of the World Batik City which became the requirements of the WCC.
