Collaboration for Infrastructure Development

The Nusantara Capital Authority (IKN) has held coordination meetings with representatives from South Korea to finalize plans for a water purification project grant. This initiative is part of broader cooperation between Indonesia and Korea to support the development of Nusantara, Indonesia's new capital city. The clean water facility project is currently in the planning stage and is expected to commence construction in early 2026.

Key Discussions and Progress

During the recent meeting, both parties reviewed the progress of the Water Purification Project, which is currently in the planning phase. IKN Authority Head, Basuki Hadimuljono, expressed appreciation for South Korea's commitment to supporting Nusantara's development. He emphasized that the project will bring significant benefits to the new capital's infrastructure, enhancing its readiness for future growth.

Future Implications

The successful implementation of this project will not only improve the basic infrastructure of Nusantara but also demonstrate the international cooperation that is crucial for the success of Indonesia's ambitious capital relocation project. The clean water supply is a critical component of the city's overall development plan, ensuring sustainable growth and improved quality of life for its future residents.
