Indonesia’s president-elect Prabowo Subianto has said that he is committed to continuing the development of the country’s new capital Nusantara during his tenure. The president-elect of Indonesia and current Minister of Defense will be sworn in as President in Nusantara in October this year when the current President Joko Widodo ends his term.

The 72-year-old politician Prabowo will be Indonesia’s third president who had a military background after Suharto and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
