On March 16, 2023, the Singapore government pledged to support Indonesia’s planned new US$ 32 billion capital on Borneo island as the leaders of the two Southeast Asian nations presided over the signing of multiple pacts including an agreement on joint development of renewable energy during annual talks. Nusantara is located in eastern Borneo. If all goes to plan, Nusantara will transition into becoming Indonesia’s political center by the end of 2024, replacing Jakarta.
