The Nitilaku Parade at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) took place, commemorating the university’s 75th anniversary and its 15th Lustrum. The event attracted thousands of participants, including PSPSR UGM’s academic community, alumni, and local residents, filling the Sekip and Bulaksumur areas of the campus in a celebration that was not just a ceremony, but also a powerful reinforcement of national unity.

This year’s Nitilaku Parade was not merely a procession—it was a profound journey back in time, reflecting the long history of UGM from its founding in Kraton to its current location in Sekip and Bulaksumur. The event encouraged participants to reflect on the spirit of struggle that led to the establishment of the university and its significant role in Indonesia’s history. The parade conveyed a powerful message of national unity, reminding everyone that despite Indonesia’s diversity, the spirit of togetherness remains essential. read more

In December 2023, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia, in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy in Seoul, held a selection for a cultural internship program at the Indonesia Centre, Busan University of Foreign Studies (BUFS). This program aims to introduce Indonesian culture within the framework of cultural diplomacy in South Korea.

The Indonesia Centre at BUFS, inaugurated in June 2022, functions as a center for cultural diplomacy and strengthens Indonesia-South Korea relations.
