JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said the government would continue to build the capital city of the archipelago (IKN). Not only IKN, the government also has a focus on development in other regions.

"As stated by the President, we will continue (development) IKN with a number of adjustments, because we also have other development priorities throughout Indonesia," said AHY at the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas office, last Thursday.

AHY had mentioned the limited budget so that this was one of the reasons the government had to make adjustments, including for the development of IKN.

"We are also always faced with a limited budget. Of course there is never a word that is unlimited to talk about the budget. Therefore, we must also make adjustments," continued AHY.

AHY said President Prabowo wanted IKN development to be focused on completing the development of the central government core area, especially facilities for executive, legislative, and judicial.

"If the three main elements of this government can immediately be prepared for infrastructure and facilities, then actually the main needs of decision making in this country can be carried out there," concluded AHY.
