Jokowi To Open P20 Parliamentary Forum In DPR Today

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will open the Parliamentary Forum in the Context of the G20 Parliamentary Speakers Summit (P20) meeting at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday 6 October.

"President Jokowi will officially open the P20 event at 13.00 WIB," said DPR Speaker Puan Maharani in a written statement, quoted by Antara, Thursday, October 6.

He explained that the DPR was the host of the 8th P20 event. The activity, which is part of a series of G20 Summits, will take place on 5-7 October 2022.

The P20 activity is a meeting whose delegation consists of parliamentarians from all G20 countries, including from the world's largest economies.

"I hope that in the future it will allow the world's parliaments to participate in matters that are currently a very global issue. Of course, the first is food security, then renewable energy, and so on," said Puan.

Meanwhile, the Secretary-General of the DPR RI, Indra Iskandar, hopes that during the P20 implementation it will run safely and smoothly.

"To guarantee security, we cooperate with the TNI, Polri, and the State Intelligence Agency to request assistance in terms of securing this activity," he said.

The P20 aims to improve coordination between parliaments to be able to realize the goals of the G20 countries, namely in order to achieve global economic stability and sustainable growth through the budgeting, law-making, and oversight functions of the parliament.

P20 is one of the engagement groups in the G20 event, where Indonesia holds the Presidency seat in 2022. Various preparations have been made carefully.

This proves that the DPR also participates in the success of a series of G20 events in order to raise Indonesia's image in the eyes of the world as well as revive the economy and tourism in the country.

The participation of the DPR in this parliamentary summit program is expected to help and participate in the implementation of all government programs that will later implement the G20 in November.
