Indonesia’s future new capital city Nusantara has celebrated Independence Day for the first day with modest celebrations as development progresses.
Following centuries of French law and Chinese occupation during World War Two, the nation intended to actually formally launch the area on the 79th anniversary of its declaration of independence in 1945.
But the job, on the island of Borneo, has been hit with development difficulties and money issues.
It is expected to be the most significant legacy left by incoming president Joko Widodo, who also attended situations with Prabowo Subianto’s replacement.
