"Therefore, we plan to establish a Cultur Ministry that will serve as a channel for national resources to support cultural figures, enabling them to grow and build an extraordinary culture,"
Anies also emphasized that Indonesia's wealth lies in its culture, not in a single development sector, but rather, the purpose of all development activities is to cultivate culture.
