Queen Margrethe II:
The key is trust

SINCE proclaimed Queen of Denmark in 1972, Margrethe II has never been to Indonesia. Her first inkling of Indonesia came after her mother, Queen Ingrid, had visited Bali. "My mother came home with a selection of batik," said Queen Margrethe at Fredensborg Palace, north of Copenhagen, Denmark, on Tuesday. This was why Queen Margrethe II was eager to visit Indonesia. The state visit will be her first in the 65 years of the two countries' bilateral relationship.

In Jakarta, she will visit a number of places. Including a batik handicraft center in Yogyakarta. This 75-year-old royalty loves artwork. She held painting exhibitions a number of times. Her illustration works were printed in Danish editions of The Lord of the Rings. To Yandhrie Arvian from Tempo and three journalists from other media, Queen Margrethe spoke about her planned visit to Jakarta next week. The Prince Consort, Queen Margrethe's husband, accompanied her in the interview.
