JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo announced the resignation of the Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (OIKN) Bambang Susantono and Deputy Chief of OIKN Dhony Rahajoe for personal reasons.

"Asked to Mr. Bambang and Mr. Dhony for their personal reasons," said President Jokowi in response to a media crew question about the resignation of the Head and Deputy Chief of OIKN, based on a voice recording received by ANTARA in Jakarta, quoted from ANTARA, Wednesday, June 5.

Even though he is no longer the Head of OIKN, President Jokowi said he would give a new assignment to Bambang Susantono as a special envoy for international cooperation in order to accelerate development at IKN.

According to the President, Bambang Susantono has experience in international cooperation that can be useful for the country.

"Because indeed, we use his experience internationally as much as possible for the good of the country," said the President.

As for Dhony Rahajoe, President Jokowi has not given a special assignment.

The Head of State also considered that the resignation of the Head and Deputy Chief of OIKN had no impact on investment or investor confidence.

"No, no. No (problems)," said the President.
