departure of Postgraduate students from the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB) at Mitra Praja Building, North Jakarta.

In total, 21 students released to Pramuka Island and Panggang Island will stay for three days from May 26-28, 2023.

According to him, the visit of dozens of students is in the framework of carrying out field studies related to economics, politics, social, regional, and environmental institutions. It was done to accelerate economic development in Seribu Islands.

"We appreciate this field study activity. It is expected to produce recommendations to support the development of our region in the future," he expressed, Friday (5/26).

It could also help the development of Seribu Islands, especially in the development of the Seribu Islands Country which had been discussed at Environment and Forestry Ministry (KLHK) level.

"Hopefully, this visit will get good study results. Thus, it can help the development that we are preparing in terms of the economy and employment," he hoped.

IPB Postgraduate student representative, M Arahap said this field study was to prepare the Seribu Islands Regency administration after the transfer of the National Capital (IKN), thus it could become a Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

Seribu Islands itself already has several preparations related to infrastructure, water resources, electricity, tourism objects, telecommunications, and licensing services.

If the SEZ development is successful, it will be able to increase investment, accelerate regional development, and create jobs.

"We thank the Regent and his staff for allowing us to continue our studies in Seribu Islands," he stated.
