Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia in Talaud Islands Regency, North Sulawesi Province, December 28, 2023

Yes, in the Talaud Islands regency from 2015 to 2023, a budget of Rp1.13 trillion has been allocated for road infrastructure, which involves approximately 199 km which were previously soil and then were worked on, repaired and paved. And, indeed there are things that need to be repaired, I have already instructed the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing  in order to refine them again next year, okay?

And I think if roads in all regencies and all cities are like this one, they will improve logistics and connectivity between sub-districts and between regencies, and yes, it will be perfect. And, Talaud Islands regency is the foremost and outermost region of Indonesia which borders the Philippines, Davao.
