인도네시아 새 수도는 보르네오섬 동부…조코위, 공식발표
Indonesia has announced that it's moving its capital from the crowded megacity of Jakarta to eastern Borneo.
President Joko Widodo made the announcement on Monday,... saying that part of Borneo is the part of the country least prone to natural disasters and is a strategic location at the center of Indonesia.
It's the third biggest island on Earth, and is home to just 10 million people.
Jakarta will remain a financial and business hub, but there are concerns that the move could hasten the destruction of Borneo's rainforests and increase pollution.
