President Jokowi Highlights Three Points in Indonesia’s G20 Presidency
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Dec. 2, Antara News Agency-AsiaNet/--

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) says that Indonesia's G20 Presidency in 2022 
will focus on three strategic issues, namely inclusive health management, 
digital-based transformation, and the transition toward sustainable energy.

"In the G20 Presidency, Indonesia will focus on handling inclusive health care, 
digital-based transformation, and the transition to sustainable energy," Jokowi 
noted at the opening ceremony of the G20 Indonesia Presidency on Wednesday.

While holding the G20 Presidency, Indonesia will carry the theme of Recover 
Together, Recover Stronger.

Moreover, Jokowi considers the G20 Presidency as a trust and honor for 
Indonesia. The presidency is also an opportunity for Indonesia to have more 
contributions to the world's economic recovery.

The President emphasizes that Indonesia will strive to build fair and 
sustainable world governance based on world peace and social justice.

"Indonesia is trying to build fair world governance. We are aiming to 
strengthen world solidarity in overcoming climate change and sustainable 
development, as well as gathering commitment from developed countries to help 
developing countries," Jokowi continued.

On the same occasion, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga 
Hartarto, conveyed that 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, Hartarto added.

He later continues that in this 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.

From December 1, 2021, until November 30, 2022, Indonesia will officially 
become the G20 Presidency, continuing the relay of Presidency from Italy.

The G20 is a global forum consisting of 19 countries and one European Union. 
The Forum, which was formed in 1999, contributes to 80 percent of the world's 
Gross Domestic Product and 75 percent of world exports.
