President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) says the Indonesia G20 Presidency
will focus on three priority issues, namely: inclusive health
management, digital-based transformation, and the transition toward
sustainable energy. Indonesia officially assumed the G20 Presidency
on December 1, continuing the Presidency relay from Italy.
"In its G20 Presidency, Indonesia will focus on handling inclusive
health care, digital-based transformation, and the transition to
sustainable energy," said Jokowi. The Indonesian President spoke at
the Opening Ceremony for G20 Indonesia 2022 in Jakarta on
Wednesday.
Indonesia will carry the theme "Recover Together, Recover Stronger"
for its G20 Presidency, "A trust and an honor for Indonesia, and an
opportunity to make a greater contribution to the world's economic
recovery."
The President emphasizes that Indonesia would strive to build fair
and sustainable world governance based on world peace and social
justice. "Indonesia will try to build fair world governance, and
strengthen world solidarity in overcoming climate change and
sustainable development, and gather commitment from developed
countries to help developing countries," Jokowi said.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto
conveyed Indonesia's G20 Presidency aims for the world to emerge
from the crisis and become more resilient. To achieve the goal, it
requires a transformation in the way of working, a change in
mindset and business model, as well as opportunity utilization amid
the pandemic to bring new breakthroughs.
Jokowi continued, "During this G20 Presidency, Indonesia will use
the forums at the G20 to fight for the aspirations and interests of
developing countries to create fair governance in the world. This
is to strengthen world solidarity in overcoming the threat of
climate change and promote sustainable development."
The G20 is a global forum consisting of 19 countries and one
European Union. G20 was formed in 1999, contributes to 80% of the
world's GDP and 75% of world exports. The Bali Summit will take
place in October 2022 in Bali, Indonesia, for G20 Heads of State
and Government. It is the pinnacle of G20 work carried out within
Ministerial Meetings, Working Groups, and Engagement Groups
throughout the year.
