JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir fully supports the implementation of the International Conference (KTT) of Religious Leaders 20 (R20) Indonesia 2022. Erick said, R20 is proof that Indonesia is able to become a home for religious and examples in the application of tolerance. The implementation of the R20 Indonesia 2022 Summit took place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Badung Regency, Bali, Wednesday, November 2. Erick assessed that this event can also be a momentum in resolving a number of problems that are currently happening, both from geopolitical to economic uncertainties. BUMN, continued Erick, has been committed to collaborating with religious leaders from the start in economic recovery and the empowerment of the people's economy. "The role of religious figures cannot be ignored. During the pandemic, religious figures help the government and society in socializing the implementation of health protocols to vaccination programs," he said in an official statement, Wednesday, November 2. Erick said that the support shown by religious figures was one of the keys to Indonesia's success in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. "We still remember very well, religious figures are working hard in providing understanding to pilgrims regarding adaptation in worship when the pandemic hit," said Erick.

Chairman of the Islamic Economic Community (MES) hopes that this event will further strengthen the friendship of religious leaders around the world. According to Erick, religious leaders have a big role in spreading the peace virus and taking sides with the people's economy. "This event is a sign that by listening to each other, we can both find solutions to various problems that are sweeping the world," he said. On the other hand, Erick said that SOEs have received great tasks in the success of two major events in the G20 Summit series, namely Music 20 or M20 and Religious 20 or R20. "This is nothing but a big part of the Indonesian agenda that wants to ensure that the G20 is not only talking between the government and the government, but also involves people to people or society and society," said Erick. Erick said M20 and R20 are new things in the implementation of the G20 Summit. Indonesia, said Erick, offered something different than the previous G20 Summit with the presence of the two events. Erick said that the M20 and R20 event will also continue to be encouraged to be held in other countries. "This is so that there is continuity, not G20 like an ivory tower, but does not give decisions to the people. In fact, this is what we are trying to reduce, how in Indonesia it is different that people to people move is important, that's why there are M20 and R20," he said.
