Executive Chair of Indonesian National Organising Committee

Celebrating Diversity

Indonesia is full of diversity. We have various cultures, ethnicities, languages
and religions. From our diversity, comes great richness and strength. This
diversity and our multicultural background is reflected in our books—fiction,
nonfiction, children’s books, comics—and cross-media products.

“Diversity” is a term that can have multiple interpretations, but at its core, it’s
all about creating “variety”. Our publishers focus on diversity through ensuring
that we offer a variety of perspectives to match a great variety of readers on a
global level. Diversity from a global perspective means, readers from various
parts of the world want content published that is relevant to them. The future
of the publishing industry depends on how prepared they are to serve readers
in these emerging economies.

Between increased cultural awareness and technological growth, we are able
to be more connected than ever before. In the publishing world, we play a key
role in weaving threads that hold together the global community by helping
to fasten different cultures around the world closer to one another. Just like
the future of our world, the future of our industry depends on diversity and
intercultural cooperation.

Generally speaking, Indonesian publishers have never stopped innovating
and deepening their endeavours as they seek to implement the go-global
strategy, thereby bringing about quite a few new highlights in books, digital
innovations and other cross-media platforms such as films, animations and
games. Through this Market Focus Programme at the London Book Fair
2019, Indonesian publishers seek more opportunities and open themselves to
cooperate with the world publishing society and to create mutual benefits.
