"It's time to explore Indonesia and enjoy the many exciting events taking place across the country," Teddy wrote in the statement, as quoted by the country's Presidential Secretariat on Saturday.
A number of national and international events have been scheduled in various regions of Indonesia. According to Teddy, the extensive lineup demonstrates Indonesia's readiness to host world-class international events.

Indonesia will also host the Mandalika Grand Prix of the MotoGP World Championship at the Mandalika International Street Circuit in West Nusa Tenggara from October 9–11. Meanwhile, the Indonesia Masters 2027 badminton tournament is scheduled for February 9–14, 2027.
