Indonesia has unveiled details of a high-level steering committee that includes a former UK prime minister, a business chief and a crown prince to oversee the creation of its planned new $31bn capital, in a bid to bolster investor confidence in the project.
Tony Blair, ex-UK premier, SoftBank chief Masayoshi Son and Abu Dhabi crown prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan would join the group, the government said on Tuesday.
The crown prince would chair the committee and Joko Widodo, Indonesia’s president, would remain in overall charge, Luhut Pandjaitan, Indonesia’s co-ordinating minister for maritime affairs and investment, said in a statement.
