Indonesia celebrated Independence Day in its future capital Nusantara for the first time, with scaled-back festivities due to construction delays. The city on the island of Borneo is a significant project of outgoing President Joko Widodo. The official inauguration was planned for the 79th anniversary of independence in 1945, but faced delays and funding issues. The new capital highlights Indonesia's shift and ambition for the future.
