JAKARTA, June 5: Indonesian President Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, has expressed confidence in commencing work at the new office in Nusantara, Indonesia’s new capital in East Kalimantan province, in July.

He added that while the office’s completion is imminent, the only remaining requirement is the installation of water supply.

During his working visit to the province since Tuesday, he observed that the development progress of several first-phase infrastructures in Nusantara is at about 80 per cent.

Jokowi also inspected the site for the first-ever 79th Independence Day celebration of the republic, which will take place on Aug 17, and mentioned that all preparations and venues are nearly completed.

“We’ve checked everything from the location to the ceremony order, and all is fine,” he said.
