JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta DPRD held a plenary meeting to commemorate Jakarta's 495th anniversary or Jakarta Celebration. In his remarks, the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD said that this plenary meeting of the DKI Jakarta Anniversary was the last with the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

"The holding of this plenary meeting to commemorate the 495th Jakarta Celebration is the last for the Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta for the 2017-2022 term of office," said Prasetyo at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Wednesday, June 22.

Prasetyo also thanked Anies and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria for establishing cooperation within the scope of regional government.

Prasetyo hopes that this cooperation will continue to be well established until the term of office of Anies and Riza ends on October 16, 2022.

"In this regard, in the remaining term of office, we hope that the Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta will continue to maintain the cooperation that has been well established so far, and continue to carry out their duties as well as possible," said Prasetyo.

Prasetyo in his speech also mentioned the plan to move the state capital city (IKN) from Jakarta to the archipelago. Prasetyo views that the momentum of moving the capital city should be an opportunity to accelerate development in Jakarta as one of the world's global cities.

In this case, a global city is a city that is considered to be an important point in the global economic system, a city that is no longer oriented as a national economic center but also a city that can compete with other cities in the world.

"Jakarta, to achieve a global city, it must be supported by development or infrastructure, the carrying capacity of the environment that supports the holding of international events without compromising the culture of the City of Jakarta," said Prasetyo.

In addition, continued Prasetyo, population mobility must be based on environmentally friendly public transportation, and it is also necessary to improve health facilities, educational facilities with international standards.

"The global city is not only seen from the economic aspect, but also the cultural aspect, social aspect, educational aspect. All these aspects must be carried out professionally," he added.

For information, the plenary meeting which is held every year is attended by officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs; the chairman and deputy chairmen of the DKI Jakarta DPRD; members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD; DKI Jakarta Provincial Government officials; members of the DKI Jakarta Forkopimda; the head of the regional DPRD in the buffer zone; as well as scholars, community leaders, to religious leaders.
