Colombia supports the vision of Indonesia’s Presidency of the Group of 20 (G20) in 2022, which will be themed “recover together, recover stronger”, said Juan Camilo Valencia Gonzales, the Colombian Ambassador to Indonesia and ASEAN.

“Colombia shares the vision of Indonesia’s Presidency at the G20 in 2022 and agrees that next year governments, financial institutions, private sector, among other stakeholders, will have a good opportunity to strengthen collective efforts for global economic recovery,” Gonzales said in a special interview with ANTARA here on Monday.

Gonzales pointed out that Colombia and Indonesia share the same views that the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recovery efforts can go along with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“COVID-19 showed us that the greatest challenges for the future of humanity will be global, so only through multilateralism, international cooperation, and global governance, we can mitigate the grave consequences of these challenges and thus build a better world,” he remarked.

He further said that Colombia believes the role of G20 economies will be decisive in determining whether developing countries can access financing for a sustainable recovery in favorable conditions.

Earlier, Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi had said that Indonesia, during its G20 Presidency, will pay great attention to the interests of developing countries.

In addition, inclusiveness will be the keyword of Indonesia’s Presidency at the G20, she added.
