inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) emphasized the importance of synergy in promoting equitable development across Indonesia.
He stated that the government continues to accelerate infrastructure development as a foundation for economic growth and an instrument for equitable prosperity.
"We want to ensure that development is not only concentrated in large cities, but also reaches villages and regions that have been left behind," said AHY on Monday (4/20/2026).
This development includes strategic projects such as toll roads, national road improvements, industrial estate development, and improvements to public facilities. This step is considered a form of government support for local communities.
He emphasized that improving connectivity and accessibility between regions is key to encouraging more equitable and equitable growth.
Furthermore, AHY assessed that infrastructure development plays a strategic role in strengthening national resilience, especially amidst increasingly complex global geopolitical dynamics.
According to him, geopolitical issues are now not only limited to diplomacy and defense, but also have a direct impact on supply chains, energy systems, digital platforms, and infrastructure networks.
He also highlighted climate change as a global risk that must be anticipated in development planning. Infrastructure, he said, needs to be designed to be adaptive to future challenges while strengthening national resilience.
AHY emphasized that infrastructure development must be directed at supporting food security, strengthening logistical connectivity, and encouraging equitable growth between regions.
Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of partnerships between the government and the business world to accelerate the realization of credible, transparent, and investment-ready strategic projects.
This step is considered crucial in supporting the national economic transformation towards the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045.
