The three main areas of focus are strengthening the global health infrastructure, transitioning to green economy and energy, and conducting digital transformation, he pointed out.
Juwana emphasized that these three aspects should be accentuated in Indonesia's role in hosting the G20.
"(Indonesia's G20 presidency) needs to be consistent in (giving due attention to) the three (areas of) focus that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has underlined. These three programs need to be carried on," he remarked.
In the health sector, Indonesia must be able to provide an understanding to developed countries, especially those capable of developing vaccines, to distribute vaccine supplies to the world, he stated.
Juwana affirmed that some developing countries were not in a position to buy vaccines.
"Hence, countries that produce the vaccine can establish factories in developing countries, thereby making the vaccine accessible to people," he explained.
In terms of digital transformation, Juwana highlighted the importance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), as they held huge potential. He also urged MSMEs to hold their ground and not lose to investors from developed countries.

Regarding environmental issues, it appears that developing countries are left with no choice but to exploit natural resources that leads to environmental damage for the sake of securing funds for construction or development.
Hence, synergizing the interests of developed and developing countries become Indonesia's challenge in hosting the G20. However, he expressed belief that both parties would speak in one forum and meet a common consensus.
Earlier, the Indonesian government had expressed its resolve to focus on the interests of developing countries during its G20 Presidency in 2022.
