We encourage local governments at the village and sub-district level to make the G20 issue a kind of daily menu in publishing various matters related to the chairmanship
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy IV of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) Juri Ardiantoro has said that all parties must strengthen collaboration in order to promote Indonesia's G20 Presidency in 2022.

He made the statement during the "Kick off Setneg Mantul Road to G20 Indonesia" event organized by the Ministry of State Secretariat online on Friday.

"One thing I want to emphasize is to build glorification about the 2022 G20 Presidency of Indonesia. We all strengthen collaboration in the context of joint glorification," Ardiantoro said.

Collaboration should be carried out by all apparatuses together with all elements of society for promoting G20 activities in Indonesia, which started in December 2021 and will end in November 2022, he added.

"We have a government structure at the center, there are more than 30 ministries/institutions, there are 34 provinces, 514 districts/cities," he noted.

If all government machines can be encouraged to become communicators, convey messages, promote G20 issues, then, throughout this year, there will be interesting presentations during G20 events in Indonesia, he said.

"We encourage local governments at the village and sub-district level to make the G20 issue a kind of daily menu in publishing various matters related to the chairmanship," he explained.

KSP will work with the Ministry of State Secretariat, Ministry of Communication and Informatics, as well as all other ministries to promote Indonesia's G20 Presidency, Ardiantoro affirmed.

Meanwhile, the Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Ministry will use bamboos as the main material for preparing venues and infrastructures for the G20 Summit 2022 in Bali, Deputy Minister of PUPR, John Wempi Wetipo, informed earlier.

"To maintain the mangroves, we will mostly use bamboos, wood, and other natural elements to reduce the use of concrete to develop the summit venue," he said while visiting the Suwung Estuary Dam, South Denpasar sub-district, Denpasar city, Bali province.

Infrastructure development in Bali has been accelerated since early January 2022, he informed.

The mangrove project is targeted to be completed in September 2022, so the province will be ready to showcase mangrove conservation efforts by October 2022, he said.

"The revitalization of the Ngurah Rai Mangrove Public Forest in the Nusa Dua Estuary Reservoir includes the construction of entrance gate, drop-off areas, viewing towers, pedestrians, seedling areas, and parking areas," Wetipo added.

He said he hoped that concrete actions initiated by the Mangrove Clean Up Movement would encourage more sustainable attempts to preserve nature.

“Hence, there are a lot of tasks for the ministry’s Human Settlement as well as Highways and Roads directorate generals. We will synergize to complete the revitalization before the G20 summit," he added.
