A literary culture will flourish when its entire ecosystem runs\nwell from upstream to downstream,\u201d Culture Minister Fadli Zon said while\nopening the Sasana Sastra event here on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that a healthy literary ecosystem spans the entire value\nchain, beginning with the creation or production of literary works and\nextending to publishing, distribution, translation, promotion, as well\nas appreciation platforms and literary festivals.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry has partnered with at least 18 literary festivals across\nIndonesia through a national festival consortium while promoting greater\npublic appreciation of literature in various regions, he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApproximately 3,225 selected literary works have been distributed\nthrough 35 literary community hubs across Indonesia. In 2025, we also\nsupported the development of 7,500 literary talents through the National\nTalent Management program in the field of literature,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As literature is one of the 10 objects of cultural advancement, the\nministry hopes Indonesian literary works will gain wider international\nrecognition, be translated into more foreign languages, and become\nincreasingly accessible to global audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, with Indonesia\u2019s rich cultural heritage\u2014including 1,340\nethnic groups and 718 local languages spread across more than 17,000\nislands\u2014the country\u2019s literary tradition is expected to continue growing\nsustainably.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia plans to distribute literary works for\nstudents<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Culture Minister urges youth to honor Indonesia\u2019s\ndiverse heritage<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Sinta, Kenzu<\/p>",
