Indonesia’s Creative Economy and Diplomacy
Considered from the potential for development and contribution of the creative economy to the national economy, Indonesia cannot help but to be active in developing this creative economy, including being active in its diplomacy when it comes to the realm of international cooperation.
The Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf), in cooperation with the Foreign Ministry, held the World Conference on Creative Economy (WCCE) in Nusa Dua, Bali, in early November.
The conference agreed on the Bali Agenda for the Creative Economy, which consists of political commitments at the international level to face challenges and take advantage of opportunities related to the development of the creative economy. It also agreed on the need for the involvement of the United Nations and other international institutions in building cooperation in this field. Among the many international cooperation, a step for diplomacy is needed by Indonesia.
