Jakarta (ANTARA) - Pro-Jokowi Volunteers (Projo) chairman Budi Arie Setiadi stated that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) invited 500 Projo members to witness the development of Indonesia's new capital city, Nusantara.

"We will depart on August 10, and the event with the president is on August 11. The number of participants reaches 500 people," said Setiadi.

The Projo members will meet the president in Nusantara on August 11.

Setiadi mentioned that Projo view Nusantara as Jokowi's legacy and as a reflection of the government's commitment to building an Indonesia-centric vision.

"They said this is built by the state. All palaces in Indonesia are colonial products. Now, we are building our own in Nusantara," he remarked.

Setiadi affirmed that the Projo members' visit will serve as a reminder of the importance of the capital transfer from Jakarta to Nusantara, which is essential for Indonesia's future development.
