Come on, leave competition and hostility
Jakarta (ANTARA) - National Resilience Institute (Lemhannas) Governor Andi Widjajanto affirmed that collaboration among countries is a solution in overcoming the crisis forecast to hit the world in 2023.

"Come on, leave competition and hostility. Come on, let us go to collaboration (to overcome the global crisis).

The Lemhannas governor said that a food, energy and financial crisis is forecast to hit the world in 2023, as conveyed by President Joko Widodo while giving a mandate at the ceremony to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Military (TNI) on October 5, 2022.

Widjajanto also noted that all countries in the world were faced with the threat of an increasingly complex crisis due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the dynamics of global geopolitics that were volatile.

As the country holding the G20 chair this year, Indonesia is required to work hard, so that the forum can be held properly and also provide solutions for the world to successfully face all existing challenges.

The discussion on the theme of the seminar is also expected to be able to offer solutions for countries worldwide to avoid the impact of a more complex global crisis.

"Hopefully, the theme of the national seminar on the G20 this morning, on connectivity, and on global supply chains would offer solutions to prevent the world from entering into a deeper crisis," he affirmed.
