Therefore, the Government under the auspices of Joko Widodo is currently focusing on infrastructure development throughout the country. Starting from the construction of toll roads, railway lines, to the construction and expansion of airports and ports.
“Building the smallest border is very important. I always convey to the Minister of Public Works that it must be at least twice as good. It’s a matter of pride and dignity. Is the period losing with a neighboring country? “
However, the President said that the government’s hard work must be followed by support from the community. However, at present the President considers that there are still many people who are not aware of the programs being carried out by the government.
“Tell the public that we have worked day and night, Saturday – Sunday to complete the real needs of the community,” he said.
The former mayor of Solo has built a 782 kilometer toll road that has been completed for 4 years. So that land transportation access can cut time faster.

Although development in Papua was hampered due to armed criminal groups, it did not discourage the Government from continuing to develop Papua and other regions in Indonesia so that they could be connected to each other.
Infrastructure development that is evenly distributed throughout the archipelago is carried out in the hope that connectivity between regions will be increased. Connectivity between regions will in turn unite all regions in the country so as to increase the spirit of unity and unity. * The author is a Social Media Activist
