Next Week Three Projects From China To Russia Will Groundbreaking At IKN

Acting Head of the IKN Authority as well as Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono revealed that there will be three foreign projects that will conduct groundbreaking in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) next week.

The three projects belong to investors from China, Australia and Russia. In addition, there will also be two other projects that will also lay the stone.

"From the Australian Independent School, Plataran, then Hotel The Prima, and Delonix. The other is from Russia," Basuki told the media crew when met at the PUPR Ministry Building, Saturday, September 21.

Basuki said that this company in the property sector will build a mixed use area. However, Basuki was reluctant to disclose the amount of the investment budget disbursed in these projects.

The plan is that the groundbreaking of this project will be carried out by President Joko Widodo, who is known to be at IKN from September 24 to 27.

"Later, the President will start there on the 24th, 24, 25, 26, 27 (September)," he said.

During the president's visit to IKN later, Basuki also ensured that the airport for the capital city of Nusantara (IKN) could accommodate the presidential plane next week.

Basuki said that during his visit to IKN on Monday, early last week, IKN airport could accommodate CASA aircraft, while on Wednesday, he used a Hercules plane.

"Okay, today's airport will start to be based on and accommodated with RJ85. Yesterday with Hercules, everything was okay. Today with RJ85. Hopefully the results are good," he explained.

Because it was already based on a Hercules aircraft, he ensured that the presidential plane carrying Jokowi was able to land smoothly at IKn Airport.

"It's possible. If there is RJ85, he says it's lighter than Hercules," said Basuki.
