JAKARTA - The development of the capital city of the archipelago (IKN) is confirmed to continue in the era of the Prabowo Subianto government. The development of the Central Government Core Area (KIPP) of IKN is targeted to be completed in the next 4-5 years.

The Coordinating Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said that he received directions from Prabowo to continue the development of IKN by focusing on three main elements of government, namely executive, legislative and judicial.

"The target for the next 4-5 years can actually function as the center of the new government. This is what President Prabowo hopes for," said AHY, quoted on Saturday, November 9.

AHY said that IKN development is not only for offices but is also equipped with basic infrastructure and its supporters, such as the residence of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). Thus, it is certain that the completion of the IKN project is one of the priorities.

The directives were conveyed by Prabowo some time ago when he met with AHY, Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo and Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi.

"In particular, we listened to his directives, which we clearly focus on resolving IKN as the center of government," said AHY.

In line with AHY, PU Minister Dody Hanggodo said that the completion of the KIPP IKN could certainly be carried out in the next 4-5 years. In the process, his party continues to coordinate with the IKN Authority.

"From the direction of the President (Prabowo) yesterday it was clear, no later than 2029 it must really be able to function properly. While others can follow," he said.
