President Joko Widodo and the Governor of East Kalimantan Isran Noor visited the location of the candidate for the nation\'s capital in the Sepaku area, Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan, Tuesday (17/12/2019).
The plan to move the nation’s capital to East Kalimantan has raised hopes of economic equality. However, the public is not yet fully convinced that the plans to relocate the capital city will be realized and is paying close attention to the possibility of socio-environmental impacts.
President Joko Widodo announced in August 2019 the plan to move the capital city of the nation to East Kalimantan. The reason behind the relocation is to reduce inequality, realize equal development, and foster a new economic center, in addition to declining carrying capacity, especially in Java.
