Khofifah Plants Maja Tree At IKN Symbol Of East Java New Gate Nusantara

East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa planted the Maja Tree at Plaza Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, the capital city of Nusantara (IKN), Monday, as a symbol of strengthening the strategic role of East Java as a new gate for the archipelago.

This Maja tree is synonymous with Majapahit. The terminology of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika and Nusantara was born to the Majapahit Kingdom," Khofifah said in a statement received in Surabaya, Monday.

The activity was carried out with the Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) Arifatul Choiri Fauzi, the Head of the IKN Authority Basuki Hadimuljono, the Governor of East Kalimantan Rudy Mas'ud, and the ranks of PP Muslimat NU as a symbol of synergy in building Indonesia's future.

A total of eight Maja Trees are planted as symbols of hope and synergy between regions in building IKN as the center of Indonesia's new civilization.

East Kalimantan Governor Rudy Mas'ud also planted Kayu Ulin, a typical Kalimantan tree that is known to be strong and rare.

"If the capital city is in East Kalimantan, then the new gate is in East Java," said Khofifah.

Khofifah emphasized the important role of East Java as a national logistics, trade and human resource center (HR) node.

This tree planting is also part of the East Java Provincial Government's Trade Mission to East Kalimantan which recorded a transaction of IDR 1.053 trillion, reflecting the strong economic synergy between the two provinces.

Khofifah hopes that the spirit of aerospace carried from Majapahit can be the foundation in building IKN inclusive and sustainable.

"This Maja tree is a symbol of strength and unity. East Java is ready to become a strategic partner for Indonesia's growth," he said.
