"Today, I reviewed one of Indonesia's National Strategic Projects, namely MRT Jakarta Phase 2A, particularly Monas Station, which extends the line from Bundaran HI to Kota. Several components of the project have already been completed. According to the President Director, overall progress has reached 60 percent," he noted.
