The flag -raising ceremony of the Games was marked by a special art performance, bearing the characteristics of the indigenous traditional culture performed by the host country's artists, showing the warm sentiments and hospitality of the "country of ten thousand islands" to the nations participating in the tournament, as well as international friends.
At the ceremony, the Organising Committee of the host country presented souvenirs to the sports delegations from other countries. With 14 sports, the 11th ASEAN Para Games is scheduled to take place in Indonesia from July 30 to August 6.
