Jokowi will meet with representatives from the Indonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (Kadin) and Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (Hipmi) from Balikpapan, Samarinda, and North Penajam Paser, he said.
The meeting will take place at 10:15 a.m. Central Indonesian Time (WITA), according to Permana.
Afterward, the President is scheduled to meet with officers from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri), he said.
"Mr. President envisions the new capital Nusantara as a safe city that is completely free from crimes," he added.
Permana said that the president was also expected to hold an audience with leaders of the Mulawarman Regional Military Command, East Kalimantan Regional Police, Military Resort Command, North Penajam Paser Resort Police, and North Penajam Paser Military District Command.
