The head of Balis Culture Office, Dewa Putu Beratha said that culture is universal; culture can also strengthen relationships with foreign countries. He also added that, we have to give room for foreigners to participate, as it will contribute to Balis economy. In fact, artist groups from 11 countries will take the stage during the course of the festival. Japan, Timor Leste, Canada, France and the United States are some of the countries on the list.
