DOC ANTARA

JAKARTA - The Nusantara Capital Authority Agency or IKN emphasized that the construction of a new Indonesian state capital named Nusantara in parts of North Penajam Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency must prioritize local potential.

Development in IKN must prioritize local potential such as food. The IKN Authority will soon circulate a notification to all caterers involved in the construction of the new Indonesian IKN that they are required to buy vegetables, rice, side dishes, and other local dishes, especially from North Penajam Paser Regency.

Deputy for Social Culture and Community Empowerment for the IKN Authority, Alimuddin said, the local community around the IKN, especially North Penajam Paser Regency, must prepare for these needs.

The IKN Authority also ensures that they continue to empower East Kalimantan residents, especially workers domiciled in North Penajam Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency, as well as the area around the new Indonesian IKN.

The IKN Authority will improve HR capabilities (human resources) in North Penajam Paser Regency, he explained, such as holding training for HR graduates.

The younger generation must be optimistic about the development of a new Indonesian IKN, by increasing their potential to be able to compete in the world of work with immigrants.

Preparation of human resources, according to him, must start early because it is human resources who enjoy the development of IKN.

"Residents of East Kalimantan should immediately prepare themselves so they don't become spectators when the IKN is built and growing," he said.

The Social Culture and Community Empowerment Sector of the IKN Authority will try to strengthen the community, especially East Kalimantan, to be involved in and support the development of the new Indonesian IKN.

"Especially for North Penajam Paser Regency, there is still much that needs to be prepared to become part of the IKN," said Alimuddin.
