Jakarta (VNA) - The development of an area dedicated to governmental offices in Indonesia's new capital city, Nusantara (IKN), in East Kalimantan province is targeted for completion by June, according to the IKN Authority (OIKN).
OIKN Secretary Bimo Adi Nursanthyasto stated that this area encompasses palaces, as well as the headquarters of coordinating ministries and the State Secretariat Ministry.
He emphasised that various supporting facilities and infrastructure, such as minimarkets, restaurants, ATMs, vending machines, and post offices, have been established to support this office zone.
Nursanthyasto explained that the Indonesian government considers these supporting facilities and infrastructure essential, as Nusantara City is envisioned as an integrated center for administrative and economic activities.
He affirmed that the government has prioritised the development of an ecosystem that ensures civil servants have easy access to their offices and residences, transportation hubs, and other critical infrastructure.
The palace complex, which includes the State Palace, Garuda Palace, Presidential Secretariat Office, and ceremony grounds, is already operational and equipped with supporting structures, according to Nursanthyasto./.
