BALI, KOMPAS.TV – Indonesia is considered to have successfully led the G20 summit amid difficult circumstances and political tensions.
Additionally, Indonesia was appreciated for successfully bringing the final deal to the G20 summit.
This assessment was conveyed by Canadian Prime Minister (PM) Justin Trudeau during a press conference after the G20 summit in Nusa Dua, Badung, Bali on Wednesday (16/11/2022).
Trudeau says it’s not easy to agree at the G20 forum, especially on certain issues that impact the global economy, involve many players, and when countries have different perspectives.

However, thanks to Indonesia’s efforts, all G20 members were able to reach a consensus.
“And again, we must recognize the leadership of President Joko Widodo, because it is on his leadership that all members of the G20 can find consensus,” said Trudeau, quoted by Between.
The Bali statement, Trudeau said, managed to contain a strong statement. Like responding to the Russian invasion in Ukraine and its impact which could trigger a food crisis and the global economy.
In addition, the Bali Declaration also contains a number of quite ambitious goals, especially those related to climate action and the global health architecture.
