"The focus of IKN development refers to the reforestation mission because in reality, the area currently being built is industrial land that will later be reforested through plant seeds, one of which is from the Mentawir Nursery," OIKN Secretary Achmad Jaka Santos Adiwijaya noted in his statement in Jakarta, Saturday.
Adiwijaya also remarked that the development of IKN is based on binding law in accordance with Law No.3 of 2022 about the National Capital, meaning the leadership succession cannot stop the pace of IKN development.
To support this, an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee has been formed that is tasked with assisting OIKN in the environmental, social, and governance fields.
"The development of IKN certainly prioritizes green, smart, and global-minded concepts with profitable investment potential," Adiwijaya stated.
