Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  The Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) has proposed granting free land to foreign embassies in the new capital Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) diplomatic compound before 2028 to accelerate their establishment.

"I emphasize that I am not the decision-maker. I will propose this to the President to attract embassies more quickly," said OIKN Head Basuki Hadimuljono on Monday (17/2/2025), as reported by antaranews.com.

With IKN set to become Indonesia’s political capital in 2028, OIKN has allocated 62.9 hectares for the diplomatic compound within the government main area. The site is designed to be a sustainable, integrated hub for diplomatic missions, featuring green urban concepts, entertainment venues, commercial spaces, and residential areas for diplomats.

OIKN is also preparing space for international organizations. President Prabowo Subianto prioritizes IKN's development as Indonesia’s political center within the next four to five years, with executive facilities nearly completed and legislative and judicial infrastructure to follow.
