JAKARTA – Indonesian President held a meeting with key officials here on Monday to push forward plans for a giant sea wall aimed at protecting the vulnerable northern coast of Java.
According to officials present at the meeting, the government is currently examining various critical aspects of the project, with a specific focus on construction feasibility and technical readiness.
While a definitive construction timeline has not been established, officials indicated that the process could be accelerated to meet urgent needs.
