Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Minister Nadiem Anwar Makarim has said that he will soon announce the priority agendas for education and culture that the Indonesian government will push at G20.
In a written statement released on Tuesday, he informed that the announcement will be made during the G20 Education and Culture kickoff event, which will be broadcast from Jakarta on Wednesday.
“Indonesian people should be proud of the fact that the nation has the opportunity to lead 19 other advanced nations within G20 and invite numerous developing nations to collectively tackle global challenges,” he remarked.
The minister invited citizens to watch the kickoff to learn about the priority agendas that his ministry will push during Indonesia’s Presidency of the G20.
“I invite everyone to know what we need to fight for together,” he said.
“We all need to be involved so that the G20 can truly produce concrete steps and real beneficial impacts for many nations, specifically Indonesia,” he added.
In addition to the education sector, Indonesia, with its rich culture and local wisdom, is also playing an important role in global recovery, Makarim said.
“We invite citizens of the world to return to the cultural road for sustainable living. We invite the world to truly see what Indonesia can offer through art and culture,” he elaborated.
The Kick-Off G20 on Education and Culture will feature a talk show on ‘Cultural Road for Sustainable Living,’ he informed.
It will also feature more talk shows on ‘Solidarity and Partnership,’ ‘Future of Working World Post-COVID-19,’ and ‘Universal Quality Education and Digital Technology for Education,’ he said.
The gamelan group, Sukma, are also scheduled to perform at the event, Makarim informed.
Further, a group of youths will voice their hopes for Indonesia’s G20 leadership, with a focus on the education and culture sector, and share their message for the world, he added.
