Aceh PROVINCE will again hold an Aceh Cultural Week (PKA) event. The PKA implementation this time enters the seventh edition, which takes place in the city of Banda Aceh, 5-15 August 2018.

The committee has prepared a series of activities that are different from the previous PKA performances. PKA celebration was first launched in 1958. Aceh cultural values ​​that experienced degradation were then excavated and reappointed at each PKA performance. The results of the cultural week were later manifested in the development of Aceh's development.

Aceh Deputy Governor as well as Chairman of PKA VII Committee, Ir Nova Iriansyah ST MT, said, PKA this time will revive all Acehnese cultural treasures from various ethnic groups in Aceh, both in the form of customs, cultural arts, treasures of Aceh's historical heritage, various handicraft products from various regions in Aceh.

The aim is that the people and young people of Aceh can find out the richness and authenticity of their own culture, in addition to strengthening the status of Aceh as a cultural tourism destination to foreign countries. Therefore, PKA VII raises the theme "Great Aceh with Customary Cultural Sharia". This theme is important because Aceh culture is very synonymous with the values ​​of the Shari'a. Religion has become a cultural focus of Aceh since Islam first entered the archipelago through the Aceh region. However, the implementation of PKA VII was not solely to promote Acehnese culture to the international community.

One other important goal is to improve the economy of the Acehnese people. Along with this, the Acehnese are asked to be able to serve guests well. "One of the most important things is how we serve guests who come to Aceh with the philosophy of the geutanyoe traditional jamee breeders,"
