After a visit to Seoul's Digital Media City, or DMC — a high-tech media and
entertainment complex — on Tuesday (17/05), President Joko Widodo said
Indonesia should form more partnerships in creative economy with South Korea.
Joko said
he is eager to see Indonesia develop its creative economy potentials.
“The more I
see, the more I realize we have great potentials in this sector,” said Joko to
the press after the visit.
The
president said Indonesia should make the first step to start up new
partnerships, and worry about their influence on gross domestic product later.
“We have
not given priority to the creative industry for too long,” Joko added.
As an
example, Joko said Indonesia should do more to promote its culture and
tradition by digging deeper into its own history, adding that there is no
reason why Indonesian culture cannot be as well known globally as K-pop.
The visit
to DMC was one of the main agenda on the president's South Korean tour. The
complex hosts a total of 350 entertainment, IT and digital content companies.
One of the
companies, Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, has already formed partnerships
with Indonesian electronic media outlets.
