The G20 Summit will be held on November 15, 2022 in Bali. Ahead of this international event, the government continues to maximize its preparations so that the event will run safely and successfully.
Indonesia holds the record for being the first developing country to be elected as the G20 Summit Presidency. As scheduled, the G20 Summit will be held in Nusa Dua, Bali, from November 15 to 16, 2022. The Island of the Gods was chosen because it has often become a gathering place for state guests at formal events.
For the success of the G20 Summit, the government maximizes its preparations. Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Pandjaitan asked all ministries and institutions involved in the G20 Summit to prepare carefully.
Ministries involved in the G20 summit include the Ministry of Communication and Information, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Trade, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In addition, there are the Deposit Insurance Corporation, the TNI, and the Police. All collaborate to support the success of the G20 Summit.
Luhut continued, ministries and institutions must work sincerely and do not feel the greatest, because all of them work in one team. Everyone is also required to set targets so that preparations for the G20 summit run well.
This instruction is part of the preparation for a major event of the G20 Summit, so there must be cooperation. Don’t let miscommunication make your plans go awry. Also, don’t put yourself first, but when the event takes place the coordination becomes disorganized.
If there is even the slightest chaos, it will be a shame for Indonesia as the host.
In addition, there needs to be clear standards in preparation for the G20 summit. This forum is international class so the standard is higher than the regular event. For example, the entire committee must be fluent in English, because all guests use this language. The committee is also confirmed to have been vaccinated up to 3 times in order to form communal immunity. Logistics must also be perfect because the dishes are of international standard and must be hygienic.
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD stated that in preparation for the G20 Summit, security, logistics and infrastructure sectors were being intensified. There is zero tolerance for any threats that can damage the image and honor of Indonesia.
The security factor is very important because the delegates of the G20 Summit are the country’s guests of honor.
Do not let groups that create disturbances to Kamtibmas, including terror groups. Therefore, the joint military and police officers are ready to carry out the mandate to secure the G20 Summit.
Meanwhile, for the preparation of infrastructure, there will be preservation of 9 roads and bridges, so that the G20 Summit takes place without being disturbed by traffic jams. Infrastructure development is also carried out by making representative parking lots. So it will not be difficult to park the vehicles that bring state guests.
Preparations were also made with electric vehicles which became the mode of transportation for the participants of the G20 Summit while in Nusa Dua. This electric vehicle is ready to take them to mobility with more environmentally friendly technology. By using an electric car, it also shows the international world that Indonesia is ready to enter an environmentally friendly green industry.
Various preparations are being made ahead of the G20 Summit in Nusa Dua, Bali. The public is also encouraged to support this international event because community participation will be very meaningful to the success of the G20 Summit.
