Indonesia urges investors from Russia to participate in the construction of the capital

Indonesian President Joko Widodo announced plans to relocate the country’s capital in 2019. The main reason was the congestion of the current capital, Jakarta. In addition, the island of Java, on which it is located, is located in a seismically active region. Also, Jakarta is sinking 25 centimeters below sea level each year, and parts of it may be submerged in a few decades. The island of Kalimantan, where Nusantara is located, is more prosperous in this respect.
