Governor Anies Baswedan has asked the 190-member Jakarta contingent participating in the 16th National Para Games (Peparnas), due to be held in Papua province on November 2-15, 2021, to maintain solidarity.

“There must be a need to help and support one another among the bearers of Jakarta’s coat of arms,” he said while flagging off the Jakarta contingent at the Ragunan Sports Center’s Plaza Amphiteater here on Friday.

The Jakarta contingent should also set a target and strive to achieve it, he said while urging the participating athletes to work hard and make Jakarta proud.

The National Paralympic Committee-Jakarta Office is aiming for 10 gold medals at the multi-sport event. However, Governor Baswedan said he hopes that the Jakarta contingent will be in the top five in the medal tally.

Jakarta’s contingent for the Papua para games comprises 97 athletes, 48 coaches/athletes, 4 special needs attendants, and 41 support staff.
