Moreover in Indonesia, K-Wave has become the most admired by the younger generation.

Moeldoko stated that cultural cooperation is one of the best ways to strengthen the bilateral cooperation between both countries for the past 50 years. This cultural diplomacy is now a two way communications that could strengthen the proxy of both countries. “It also could be a buffer connection for both countries,” he added.

Moeldoko hopes that in the future this cultural cooperation could be realized in various forms of cooperation, such as culinary industry, creative industry for example music, film and fashion, as well as educational exchange. “As it is currently done at Busan University of Foreign Studies, where they already established the Indonesia center,” he states.
