The main objectives of the HIC programme are:

to function as cultural diplomacy centers in friendly strategic countries;
to inform the richness of Indonesian culture and its contribution to the development of world civilization; and
to attain acknowledgement from the international community, including stronger recognition of Indonesian cultural icons in the form of both tangible and intangible cultural heritages.
