The Group of 20 Leaders’ Summit in Bali this week will be a very big moment for Indonesia and for the group itself. Indonesia has chosen "Recover Together, Recover Stronger" as the theme of its presidency.
Within the scope of this theme, which takes into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the international community and the challenges encountered in combating the pandemic, the activities for this year have been classified under three main headlines: global health architecture, transition to sustainable energy and digital transformation.
With these pillars, Indonesia aims to continue leading on ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, promoting sustainable and inclusive economic development via participation of micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and digital economy, among other prominent topics.
The theme of 2022 was determined within the scope of these topics with the aim of accelerating recovery in the fields of global economy and public health following the pandemic, and it guided the G20 program.
Another goal of the efforts on the aforementioned topics is to ensure that the G20 has a structure that can more easily adapt to the global crises that may occur in the future, as well as to identify new ways and tools to this end.
The Bali Summit will be the pinnacle of the G20 process and intense work carried out within the ministerial meetings, working groups and engagement groups throughout the year.
The COVID-19 outbreak, which turned into a global crisis, is responsible for the death of more than 5.5 million people so far, and has caused significant economic and commercial losses. Education has also been adversely affected, with millions of students suffering learning loss.
