JAKARTA - Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said Indonesia will hold the presidency or host the G20 Summit in 2022.

"I can say that 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, quoted by Antara, Sunday, November 22.

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 be able to hold the G20 Presidency in 2023," said the Foreign Minister.

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," explained the Foreign Minister.

Retno said that with the time of the Indonesian Presidency at the G20 in 2022, starting in 2021 Indonesia will already be part of the G20 Troika.
