Jakarta (ANTARA) – Head of the Nusantara City Authority Bambang Susantono affirmed that the new capital city will be developed as a sustainable forest city that incorporates inclusivity, eco-friendliness, and resilience.”Thus, of the 256 thousand hectares that will be developed in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) project, only 25 percent, or some 160 thousand hectares, will be built as city area, while the rest 65 percent is tropical forest. The city combines inclusivity, eco-friendliness, and high resilience,” Susantono stated at a discussion accessed here on Wednesday. The discussion was centered around culture and conservation in Nusantara City’s forest city concept. He noted that Indonesia was once accused of conducting deforestation. Hence, development of the city is backed up with thorough concept that includes reforestation, which would align with the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision. “We also see IKN as an abbreviation for Investment, Knowledge, and Nature because we believe that to create a sustainable forest city, there will be many new concepts that will complete each other, and we know that there will be something good in it,” he remarked. He noted that the city’s development is in line with several global targets, such as anticipating climate change through Locally Determined Contribution — part of the National Determined Contribution — in a bid to create a city with low carbon footprint and climate resilience in the future. The city’s development is also in line with biodiversity, one of the global targets, as the city is capable of absorbing carbon and pushing for reforestation as well as maintaining the wealth of flora and fauna, he affirmed. Nusantara City must become the center of civilization for future generations, he stressed. “Hence, we have to think and plan thoroughly: What kind of culture will be relevant to them (future generations) in 2045? We have to prepare those,” he emphasized. He also remarked that Nusantara City will be a smart city that adheres to Indonesia’s values. “Apart from (the steps) to support the environment and developing smart living, smart working, and smart learning, everything, of course, must be in accordance with our Indonesian values; becoming a green, positive living lab and also maintaining harmony among humankind, nature, and culture,” he concluded.

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Investment Minister and Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Head Bahlil Lahadalia revealed that the government will almost certainly extend PT Freeport Indonesia’s special mining business permit contract due to expire in 2041.”We will decide on Freeport in the near future. Closer, but almost certain,” Minister Lahadalia remarked after attending the Indonesia-China Smart City Technology and Investment EXPO 2023 event in Jakarta, Wednesday. Freeport has applied for a license extension to operate after 2041. However, the government, through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), is still discussing details regarding the license extension, especially taking into account additional revenue and benefits for the state. One of the conditions put forth by the government was for Freeport to increase the government’s shareholding in the mining company by 10 percent, which turns out to 61 percent. Lahadalia called for an increase in the number of shares on account of Freeport’s rising revenue. In 2022, state revenue from Freeport, comprising taxes, dividends, and non-tax state revenues, had reached US$3.32 billion. Meanwhile, it is estimated to reach US$3.76 billion in 2023. “Freeport must be willing, must be willing, how it must be willing. If Freeport does not want to add, I am ready to be evaluated by the minister. The 10 percent must be cheap. I do not want to ask for the current valuation,” Lahadalia stated during a press conference at his office, Friday (April 28). Speaking on similar lines, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif stated that extension of the Freeport license must provide additional revenue for the government. Moreover, even if the smelter is integrated and there are still reserves, then the permit for the extension of operations can be done more quickly. In fact, the extension is required for five years before it expires. “In principle, it should be able to provide additional income and benefits for the government,” Minister Tasrif stated in Jakarta on April 28.
