Prabowo's Commitment to IKN Development

On October 27, 2024, President Prabowo Subianto emphasized his commitment to continuing the development of Nusantara, Indonesia's new capital, and completing all basic infrastructure within a four-year timeframe. During a briefing at the Military Academy in Magelang, Minister of State Prasetyo Hadi stressed the importance of prioritizing infrastructure as part of Nusantara's sustainability strategy. This emphasis on infrastructure was one of four main points raised by Prabowo during a retreat at the academy. Previously, Basuki Hadimuljono, who served as the acting head of the Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) for four months following Bambang Susantono's resignation, also noted the transition of roles within the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing. Dodi Hanggodo has now been appointed as the Minister of Public Works. In the next two years, the construction of judicial and legislative buildings is planned to commence in Nusantara, marking the beginning of a strategic shift of the government center.
