Date: 19 November 2022
Place: Bali
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo announced that the G20 leaders have ratified the G20 Bali Leaders Declaration during the November 15-16, 2022, Summit in Nusa Dua, Bali, agreeing on 52 paragraphs. He highlighted one paragraph, which needed a prolonged and heated discussion on the Russia-Ukraine war.
“We issued a condemnation against Russia for violating the territorial and integrity boundaries that resulted in the people’s suffering and impacted the global economy,” he told a post-Summit press conference in Nusa Dua, Bali, on November 16, 2022. “The discussion was tough. We had a debate until midnight on the issue and eventually reached a consensus. Leaders of the G20 agreed on the content of the declaration, including representative from Russia.”
Jokowi had earlier handed over the G20 2023 presidency to India Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He urged other G20 leaders to pledge that they will work together for digital inclusion over the next decade.
“The principle of ‘data for development’ will be an integral part of the overall theme of our presidency, ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’,” he said.
