Indonesia's Jokowi holds first cabinet meeting in new capital Nusantara
President Joko Widodo has held the first-ever Indonesian cabinet meeting in the new capital city, Nusantara. The outgoing leader is looking to reassure investors that his $32 billion mega-project is on the right track, before he steps down in October. Nusantara is located on the island of Borneo, around 1,200km from the current capital Jakarta, which is struggling to tackle congestion, sinking and overpopulation. But building Nusantara has not been short of challenges, including construction delays and poor foreign investment. Chandni Vatvani reports from Jakarta.
