Thus far, his party already has public facilities such as reading corners, mini theaters, and meeting halls that can be used by the public, artists, cultural actors, and literacy activists.
IKAN Chairperson, Abdul Aziz admitted he was pleased to synergize with the Library and Archives Sub-agency in building literacy awareness based on culture and local wisdom.
"Interest and awareness of literacy are very contextual and linear in advancing the nation's civilization. We won't waste this synergy to share knowledge," he stressed.
He hoped that together with IKAN, it would increase the students' love for culture, especially Betawi culture.
"Hopefully, it meets our expectations. The millennial generation loves and knows Betawi culture more and more," he hoped.
