JAKARTA (Jakarta Post) : National news agency Antara announced Wednesday plans to go international this year, joining the ranks of the world's established news agencies.
"We aim to achieve our new vision to become one of the best world-class news agencies in the Asia Pacific, to create a knowledge-based society," Ahmad Mukhlis Yusuf, Antara president director, said during a ceremony.
Ahmad said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono first proposed the idea two years ago.
"We have developed our work values, which will be implemented in our recruitment system, quality management system, quality assessment system and other human or organizational development systems in order to change our organization's work culture within the next five years," he said.
Antara currently has 33 bureaus across the country, plus several representatives abroad.
Antara holds the presidency of the Asia-Pacific News Agency (OANA) for the 2007-2010 period, after having replaced Malaysian news agency Bernama.
