Indonesia has vouched to fulfill the G20 Presidency’s mandate to help address global issues, especially the pandemic and economic crisis. “What we can ensure are the unwavering efforts of Indonesia, as the G20 President, in fulfilling the mandate in line with its nature as a forum that helps address issues on the global crisis,” the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister’s Chief of Staff Achmad Rizal Purnama remarked during an online press briefing here on Thursday. Hence, he expressed hope that the function and essence of G20 would be well-conducted during Indonesia’s G20 Presidency. “We want to ensure that Indonesia’s G20 Presidency does address global issues that the world is currently facing, especially the pandemic and economic crisis,” he pointed out. During its presidency, however, another crisis is concurrently occurring akin to the Russia-Ukraine conflict that has had impacts on the food and fuel prices. Despite the conflict, Purnama affirmed relentless support of the G20 member countries on the key agendas of Indonesia’s G20 Presidency. “We still have the support of G20 member countries, especially on the prioritized agendas. Hence, the support is not withdrawn just because of the conflict that currently happens,” he stressed. To this end, the foreign affairs minister will visit four countries — the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and Turkey — on April 19-22, 2022. The minister will take up two main agendas during her visit. The first is to strengthen bilateral relations to boost economic cooperation in a bid to recover from the pandemic and the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The second agenda is to consult and communicate with some countries in response to addressing the current issues in the context of the G20 Presidency. Through the consultation, Indonesia will gain some perspectives among countries on the G20 forums to handle various challenges currently, especially in the economy sector that is under immense pressure, the ministry’s spokesperson, Teuku Faizasyah, noted. “We will surely listen to their views on the issues spoken by global leaders currently,” he added.

The government will establish a special coal entity as a strategic step to resolve the domestic coal supply problem in the long term, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif has informed. The special coal entity will be formed in June 2022 through direct coordination with the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, he said on Thursday. “This special entity is still in progress to be institutionalized. It is targeted to finish in June,” Tasrif added. Business associations will be involved in the formation of the special entity for coal, he said. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) has been assigned to gather all its members, and later, there will be several programs that will be carried out by the institution. “Later, the assignment will be given to several large miners. The difference in price will be covered through fees and the amount of the contribution will depend on the capacity and specifications of the company,” Tasrif explained. The government has decided to form the special coal entity to ensure domestic coal supply. The agency will later be tasked with collecting fees, in accordance with applicable regulations, to cover the difference between the coal price in the market and the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) price of US$70 per ton. Through the special entity, the fulfillment of DMO coal, both in terms of volume and revenue, will be carried out under a mutual cooperation scheme. Deputy chairperson of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Maman Abdurrahman, said the formation of a special coal entity is a political decision based on the recommendations of Commission VII and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. The agency could become a long-term solution for resolving DMO, including additional obligations in the form of a domestic price obligation (DPO), which has now become a contentious issue, he added. Abdurrahman said he hopes that a special coal entity will be formed soon to resolve various problems experienced by both the upstream and downstream coal industries. Source: Antara News
