"We hope that with the development of IKN, it will have a major impact on community development, culture, and infrastructure development in Kalimantan," he said.

In conveying his statement of attitude, TBBR also fully supports every activity of President Jokowi's government, maintaining and defending the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia towards Indonesia with dignity and upholding Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.
