The collaboration and synergy are important agendas that have been initiated by President Prabowo Subianto, including to build a creative industry in sports, he said at a press conference after the Indonesia Equestrian Sports Association (Pordasi) National Conference in Jakarta on Saturday. "President Prabowo has mandated that every minister in the Cabinet carry out synergy. We see that the Minister of Youth and Sports is currently developing the sports industry," he said.
In the sports industry, there will be elements of industrial development and creative economy industry, he added.
Harsya said that his ministry is aware that the sports industry is developing and certain derivatives such as merchandise, T-shirts, special equestrian shoes, and accessories are still being imported.
"We are ready to work together with the Ministry of Sports in this case, one of which for the development of equestrian sports," he said.
The Pordasi recently held an extraordinary national meeting to discuss the improvement of the Articles of Association (AD/ART) and align the work program for the next period.
In the work program, Pordasi will involve stakeholders, especially the youth.
Pordasi Chairperson Aryo Djojohadikusumo said that he will not close himself off but network with all elements to bring Indonesian equestrianism to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
