The mission of the Ministry of Culture is to create the conditions for the continuity of national culture, and for the development and dissemination of free cultural expression and public participation in cultural activities.  The Ministry focuses on the protection of cultural values, including those of ethnic communities, to help develop and nurture a democratic, free and open society.
