President Joko Widodo has held the first-ever Indonesian cabinet meeting in the new capital city, Nusantara. The outgoing leader is looking to reassure investors that his $32 billion mega-project is on the right track, before he steps down in October.

But building Nusantara has not been short of challenges, including construction delays and poor foreign investment. Chandni Vatvani reports from Jakarta.
