Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said Indonesia will hold the Presidency (to host) the G20 Summit in 2022.
"Indonesia will hold the G20 Presidency in 2022," said the Foreign Minister in a virtual press conference after accompanying the President to attend the second day of the G20 summit, via a video conference from the Bogor Presidential Palace, West Java, Sunday night.
Foreign Minister Retno said that originally the Indonesian Presidency for the G20 Summit was in 2023. Meanwhile, India will hold the Presidency of the G20 Summit in 2022.
However, considering that in 2023 Indonesia will also hold the chairmanship of ASEAN, Indonesia will discuss the chairmanship of the G20 with India.
"Incidentally, India also has a proposal to hold the G20 Presidency in 2023," she said.
Thus Indonesia exchanged the chairmanship of the G20 Summit with India.
"Thus Indonesia will hold the G20 Presidency in 2022, while India will hold the Presidency in 2023," Retno explained.
He conveyed that by the time of the Indonesian Presidency at the G20 in 2022, then starting in 2021 Indonesia will already be part of the G20 Troika. (Antaranews)
