Director General of Public Information and Communication, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo), Usman Kasong, warmly welcomed the media and industry collaboration as a strategic practice and step to strengthen cyber media in Indonesia to contribute more broadly in the future.

"Indonesia has successfully organized the G20 Summit in Bali. The role of the media in the success of this event is very large, including the role of the media and fellow journalists who are members of AMSI. Collaboration is the keyword for a big digital leap," Usman Kosong said yesterday.

"Therefore, we appreciate the collaboration carried out today between AMSI and Huawei to strengthen the capacity of cyber media in Indonesia. We hope this collaboration can empower cyber media in particular and improve the capabilities of Indonesian human resources in general," he added.

With Huawei's leading technologies in cloud, AI, and so on, we hope this partnership can help more media to fully maximize the benefits of digital transformation." Jun Zhang explained.

"Together with AMSI, Huawei is confident and ready to establish more collaborations to help develop the digital ecosystem in the media industry," he emphasized.

For more than 22 years, Huawei has been highly committed to supporting the acceleration of digitalization in Indonesia through building TIK infrastructure to connect the unconnected and nurturing digital talent.

According to Wenseslaus, media is the main foundation for the sustainability of the ecosystem. Support from Huawei will empower Indonesian cyber media to survive and thrive.

"Given that the media is a key cornerstone for ecosystem sustainability, support from global technology leaders such as Huawei in various areas regarding advanced technologies, will empower Indonesian cyber media to survive and thrive, thus contributing to the consolidation of a fully connected and intelligent Indonesian information society," Wenseslaus explained.
