Public Relations Integration

Communication and Information Minister Rudiantara in his opening speech said that the Award is a form of appreciation to government public relations bureau’s role in building government reputation. “Government has done a lot, but the public don’t know much about it. That is the challenge for government public relation bureau to inform it to the public,” said him.
