“We are still in the planning stage where the focus is on the design of the new capital city. We are also working on drafting laws and establishing a legal umbrella together with the People’s Representative Council of Indonesia (DPR RI),” said Basuki on June 24.

“We’re aiming that by next year, we’ll be able to enter the construction phase of the new capital city project,” added Basuki.

The government is teaming up with domestic and foreign investors for the project.
