JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo broke ground on Wednesday for construction of several projects ranging from an airport, toll-road and hospital to a hotel in a planned new capital city, Nusantara.
Mr Widodo, also popularly known as Jokowi, will launch 10 projects worth 12.5 trillion rupiah during his visit this week to Nusantara, which Indonesia is building from scratch amid the jungles of Borneo island. “I believe the construction of this airport will boost competitiveness and economic growth, as well as accelerate the development of the new capital,” Mr Widodo said at the ground-breaking event.
Mr Widodo also inspected construction work on a 57km toll road link to the coal hub of Balikpapan, which he expected could be used from June next year to cut travel time.
