He said that part of the diversity of cultural heritage of the entire Indonesian archipelago is reflected in Jalan Nusantara and Indonesia invites UNESCO Member States to explore Indonesia’s cultural heritage, which provides an in-depth picture of its growing importance development in the future. Indonesia is the first UNESCO member country to have a special area to display its cultural art objects at UNESCO Headquarters.

Jalan Nusantara will be a permanent area at UNESCO headquarters for at least the next five years, highlighting the importance of Indonesia’s cultural heritage not only now, but also in the future. The arrangement of cultural objects in separate UNESCO conservation zones is a pilot project and is expected to be followed by other UNESCO Member States in the future.
