Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati says the July meeting of the Group of 20 (G20) aims to pursue goals in health, the energy transition and tax as the prevailing geopolitical tensions work against Indonesia's ability to advance the economic agenda of its G20 presidency.

“What is very clear [...] is that first of all, without exception, all [G20] members support Indonesia's agenda. [...] Regardless of their own politics,” Sri Mulyani told The Jakarta Post during an interview on Friday.

Indonesia has been facing challenges in hosting G20 meetings over the member countries’ policy stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

For example, representatives from the United States, Britain and Canada walked out when Russian officials spoke at the second G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) on April 20 in Washington, D.C.

G20 finance chiefs are slated to resume talks at the third FMCBG meeting on July 15-16 in Bali. Sri Mulyani, who is chairing the meeting, remains confident that member countries will maintain the G20 as the world’s premier economic forum.

Observers have called on Indonesia to accommodate discussions on the Russia-Ukraine war in this year’s G20 agenda, but Indonesian officials have turned down the request, saying that war was better addressed by the United Nations.
