Hasan affirmed that this was the first time that Indonesia had been invited to the meeting. He noted that the invitation will accommodate Indonesia's strategic interest and other developing countries in global trade.
"The G7 TMM will be strategic for Indonesia to bring its interests into global trade, especially to increase the resilience of global supply chains and the relationship between the trade sector and sustainability aspects, including environmental issues, development, and digitalization," Hasan noted in a statement on Saturday.
During the G7 TMM, he is scheduled to take part in an outreach session, namely a discussion session between G7 member countries, strategic partner countries, and international organizations.
The session will raise the theme of increasing global supply chain resilience as well as a working dinner session that focuses on the relationship between the trade sector and sustainability aspects.
