In his opening remarks, Jokowi said the world is still trying to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic amid increasing world rivalries and war.
“We all have responsibilities, not only for our people but for the people of our world.
“Being responsible means respecting international laws and principles of the United Nations Charter consistently,” he said.
Jokowi added that they must create win-win solutions and also end the war.
“If the war does not end, it will be difficult for the world to move forward. We should not divide the world into parts. We must not allow the world to fall into another Cold War.” CNA
Indonesian President Jokowi has stood out as an exceptional leader of Asean and the world. In his opening speech he clearly made himself clear that he is not a stooge of the Americans but an independent world leader. He talked about peace, about ending wars and rivalry, about being responsible and respecting international laws and principles of the United Nations Charter, not a word about American's mischievous rule of law. Not about the fake and fabricated threats used by the Americans to divide the world to go against one another.
Yes, Jokowi talked about win win solutions and ending the wars. Every civilised nation would want to have peace and build a prosperous world for everyone, not harping about fake threats, inciting and instigating one country against another. With the Americans starting wars, gathering gangsters to go against countries they smeared and badmouthed, without them selling weapons to kill, the world would be a much safer and better place for everyone.
The rest of the world must pray and support Pak Jokowi to lead this G20 Meeting into a Meeting for Peace and Development, not to be hijacked by the Americans into a Meeting that produced nothing but war and hate rhetoric to divide nations against one another. The joint communique, if there is one, must be about peace, development and climate change. It must not be about the Ukraine War and about attacking Russia and China or any other nation state.
All the best, Pak Jokowi. It would be a medal of honour for Indonesia if the Meeting goes as desired by Pak Jokowi, more cooperation and collaboration for the common prosperity of the world.
