Welcoming Nusantara with Optimism

Embracing the spirit of transparency and collaboration, Media & Stories presents authentic narratives of Nusantara’s development through videos, photographs, and the voices of communities who are contributing to a new chapter in Indonesia’s history.

We will further accelerate our office activities here, as this is a matter of national pride. The sooner it is seen by the world, the better it will be. God willing, in line with the President’s vision, IKN will become an iconic symbol of the Indonesian nation.

KH. Nasaruddin Umar

Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia — 2025

Going forward, God willing, we will continue to cooperate with the IKN Authority. We will strive to complete the toll road as quickly as possible, along with the dam and, if necessary, facilities related to the provision of clean water.

Dody Hanggodo

Minister of Public Works of the Republic of Indonesia — 2025

This is a truly ambitious project, which is wonderful. We need this kind of ambition when it comes to building a green future, addressing climate change, and tackling biodiversity loss. It is highly inspiring for the world.

Prof. Thomas C. Hilde, Ph.D

Lecturer, University of Maryland, United States — 2022

It was truly impressive. Previously, I had only seen IKN through social media posts and images of the State Palace. I only recently realized that IKN also has many other buildings. It was very lively, with many visitors, numerous activities, and abundant natural surroundings. A great success.
