Indonesian President, Joko Widodo, yesterday, asked parliaments of the Group of Twenty (G20) countries, to strengthen cooperation to overcome the global crisis and promote world economic recovery, amid geopolitical conflicts.

In the opening ceremony of the 8th G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit here, attended by parliamentary representatives of members and dozens of invited parties, Widodo expressed that, global parliaments must be part of the solution to build dialogue, promote togetherness and avoid division.

“Multilateralism is the most effective way to overcome common challenges, because no single problem can be solved by one country alone,” Widodo said.

The meeting, held from yesterday to today in Jakarta, is the right place for creating togetherness with the people and across countries to work together, to solve problems and build a just world, Widodo added.
