•新冠肺炎疫情席卷全球,甚至像美国这样的超级大国成为最严重的受害者,疫情爆发后,对全球卫生系统的认识成为重中之重。今天,最大的全球性挑战是健康。迫切需要加强世界卫生系统,预计这将有助于改进全球新冠肺炎应对措施,促进全球卫生基础设施的转型,并有助于使卫生系统更具弹性、包容性、公平性和危机应对能力。
•全球经济面临前所未有的挑战,无论是由于大流行、乌克兰危机、单边制裁还是政治动荡,但每个人都是当前经济危机的受害者。迫切需要解决所有可能损害全球经济的问题,并需要制定政策和切实措施,立即恢复全球经济。
•地缘政治局势紧张,面临不确定性,这是人类令人担忧的问题。中东、南中国海、乌克兰、阿富汗、拉丁美洲或世界任何其他地区,如果紧张局势存在,将损害全人类。不确定性无处不在,人们无法专注于发展,而是对未来感到困惑和担忧。对于发展而言,有利的环境是先决条件,需要有利的环境。
•气候变化是一个全球性问题,一直影响着每个人。一些国家遭受了很多痛苦,而一些国家则更少,但是,这是时间问题,他们很快就会轮到。气候变化对一些国家造成严重影响,因此必须给予应有的优先考虑。例如,就巴基斯坦而言,今年,年降雨量为50毫米的地区在几周内突然下了1700毫米的暴雨,并引发了严重的洪水。全国约三分之一的地区被水淹没,农作物、房屋、基础设施和通信系统遭到破坏,人命和牲畜也因此丧生。大约有3500万人受灾,估计经济损失为三位数。这场灾难的规模超出了巴基斯坦的能力,因此寻求了国际援助。这不仅是巴基斯坦,也可能发生在其他一些国家。气候变化没有国界,任何时候、任何地方都可能发生,事先没有警报。人们希望必须立即解决气候变化问题。
第十七届二十国集团(G20)峰会
会议定于2022年11月15日至16日(星期二至星期三)在印度尼西亚巴厘岛举行,全球领导人将在那里会晤并讨论上述挑战,并尽力应对所有挑战。 它有望建立全球共识,增强应对全球挑战的信心。
为期两天的2022年商业20(B20)峰会在印度尼西亚巴厘岛举行,全球商业领袖齐聚一堂,向G20提出政策建议,以应对全球商业面临的关键挑战。B20被称为二十国集团的商业部门,是二十国集团面向全球商界的官方对话论坛。此次峰会是由印度尼西亚工商会(KADIN Indonesia)在现任G20主席国印度尼西亚政府的要求下举办的。它汇集了3300多人,包括来自40多个国家的2000名全球国家元首、首席执行官和跨国公司的商业领袖,代表了650多万家企业。除峰会外,B20合作伙伴还组织了130多场副业活动,聚集了8000多名参与者。
今年峰会的主题是“推进创新、包容和合作增长”。B20旨在通过向G20国家提出7个关键政策领域的政策建议来实现这一目标,包括贸易和投资;能源、可持续性和气候;数字化;金融和基础设施;工作和教育的未来;诚信合规和商业女性。B20印度尼西亚提出了25项建议,供二十国集团考虑,涉及三个关键优先事项:
1) 优先考虑创新,以解锁大流行后的增长;
2) 增强中小微企业和弱势群体的能力;
3) 支持发达国家和发展中国家之间加强合作。
印尼工商会主席Arsjad Rasjid P. M.表示:“我们非常希望今年的B20峰会能够就优先事项达成共识和共同事业,从而在统一战线上前进。现在比以往任何时候都更需要全球企业发出声音,以确保未来的包容性和可持续增长。”
B20印度尼西亚主席Shinta Widjaja Kamdani说:“在我们作为一个星球面临独特挑战、地缘政治紧张局势加剧的时候,全球工商界可以发挥重要作用:我们必须团结起来,优先考虑包容、合作和创新的增长。”
B20主席国由印尼知名ceo支持,他们领导了向G20提交建议的准备工作。它还由20国集团(G20)国家顶级企业的国际商业领袖组成的国际倡导核心小组(international Advocacy Caucus)指导。该核心小组包括托尼•布莱尔(Tony Blair)和埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)等领导人,其成员共同协助B20领导人制定议程和优先事项,提供有价值的见解。
二十国集团峰会议程
新冠肺炎疫情对世界经济造成了严重影响,发展中经济体遭受的损失比发达经济体更大。发展中经济体和发达经济体之间的差距正在扩大。
全球经济容易受到多重影响,其中之一是许多国家(包括富国和穷国)的通货膨胀飙升。一些发达经济体大举加息的外溢效应严重,冲击了全球金融市场,给新兴市场国家和发展中国家带来巨大压力。
今年10月,国际货币基金组织(imf)将2023年全球经济增长率预测值调整为2.7%,比7月份的预测值下调了0.2个百分点。
今天,我们比以往任何时候都更需要国际合作。我认为,G20峰会必须采取的是领导人准备以建设性的方式参与这些问题的积极态度。”
印尼外交部长雷特诺·马尔苏蒂在今年联合国大会一般性辩论期间表示,全世界都希望G20成为全球经济复苏的催化剂,特别是发展中国家的复苏。“我们不能让全球复苏听任地缘政治的摆布。”
中国的作用
作为世界第二大经济体和最大的发展中国家,中国支持二十国集团在应对全球性挑战、完善全球经济治理方面发挥主导作用,主张增加发展中国家在国际事务中的代表性和发言权。
迪帕克说:“中国在国内建设能力、帮助发展中国家克服能力不足、建设所需的基础设施等方面做了巨大的努力,以应对疫情的挑战。”
他说:“我认为中国将继续呼吁20国集团领导人建设这些能力,并集中精力建设所需的卫生基础设施。”
在日本佳能全球研究所所长濑口清之看来,中国坚持走经济全球化的正确道路。
“中国致力于与各国一道,共同营造有利于发展的国际环境,为世界经济增长创造新动力。”
中方支持二十国集团峰会
中国外交部高级外交官4日表示,中方支持印尼发挥二十国集团主席国作用,期待即将举行的二十国集团峰会为全球应对新冠肺炎疫情、促进经济复苏、保障粮食和能源安全作出贡献。
外交部副部长马朝旭表示,中方支持将于11月在巴厘岛举行的峰会以“共荣共荣”为主题。马云是在中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会期间举行的新闻发布会上发表上述言论的。
我们希望G20峰会在加强抗疫国际合作、促进世界经济复苏、保障全球粮食和能源安全等方面发挥积极和建设性作用。
作为二十国集团成员,中国积极参与国际经济合作和全球经济治理,与各方一道推动世界经济可持续、平衡、包容强劲增长。
预期
这位分析人士相信这次峰会的重要性,并预计随后会有一些重大突破。这可能是建立信任和相互理解的第一步。预计中美两国元首可能会克服一些分歧,缓解地缘政治紧张局势。其余的分歧可能在后续工作中得到解决。
如果中美之间的分歧缩小,南海、亚洲和该地区可能成为快速经济活动的中心,为世界经济的复苏做出贡献。美国也可能因此受益。
如果美国放弃反华行动,转而合作,可能会使局势变成各方共赢、全球共赢的局面。
乌克兰危机可能是本次峰会的中心议题,各方可能在协商一致的基础上找到令人满意的解决方案。
全球经济的恶化对发展中国家有直接影响,它们希望利用这个机会消除主要障碍,并在所有国家之间创造一个和平、稳定和信任的环境。

G-20 Summit 2022 at Bali was termed a critical one
Global Challenges
• After the breakout of COVID-19, which has engulfed the whole world and even superpowers like the US became the worst victim, the awareness of the global health system got the highest priority. Today the biggest global challenge is health. There is a dire need to strengthen world health systems, it is expected to help improve global COVID-19 response and facilitate the transformation of global health infrastructure, and contribute to making health systems more resilient, inclusive, equitable, and crisis-responsive.
• Global economy is facing unprecedented challenges, whether it is due to the Pandemic, Ukraine Crisis, unilateral sanctions, or political turmoil, but, everyone is a victim of the current economic crisis. There is an urgent need to address all possible issues damaging the global economy and need to formulate policies and practical measures to revive it immediately.
• Geopolitics are tense and facing uncertainty, which is a matter of grieve concern for humankind. Middle East, South China Sea, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Latin America, or any other part of the world, if tension exists, it harms the whole of humankind. Uncertainty prevails everywhere, people cannot focus on developments, rather confused and worried about the future. For development, conducive environments are pre-requisite, and enabling circumstances are required.
• Climate change is a global issue and has been impacting everyone. Some of the nations have suffered a lot whereas some are less, but, it is a matter of time and their turn may become soon. It is almost desired that climate change must be given due priority as it severe impact on some countries. For example, in the case of Pakistan, this year, the areas with 50 mm of annual rainfall have received sudden heavy rains reaching 1700 mm within a few weeks and causing heavy floods. Around one-third of the country was under water, damaging crops, houses, infrastructure, and communication systems, and loss of human lives and cattle. Approximately, 35 million people suffered, and the estimated economic loss was in three digits. The magnitude of the disaster was beyond the capacity of Pakistan and international assistance was sought. It is not only Pakistan, it might happen to some other nations. Climate change has no borders and can happen any time anywhere, without alarm in advance. It is desired that climate change must be addressed immediately.
The 17th Group of 20 (G20) Summit
It is scheduled to take place in Bali Indonesia from 15-16 November 2022 (Tuesday to Wednesday), where the global leaders are going to meet and discuss the above-mentioned challenges and try their best to address all of them. It will also mark the first face-to-face meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping since Biden became president. President Biden is due to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Bali and aims to discuss a range of contentious issues, including tensions over Taiwan, human rights, the war in Ukraine, and North Korea’s nuclear program. It is expected to build global consensus and bolster confidence in handling global challenges.
A two-day Business 20 (B20) Summit 2022 is held in Bali, Indonesia, bringing together global business leaders to make policy recommendations to the G20 to address key challenges for businesses around the world. Known as the business arm of the G20, the B20 is the official G20 dialogue forum for the global business community. The summit is organized by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN Indonesia) at the behest of the Government of Indonesia, which holds the current G20 Presidency. It brought together over 3,300 people, including 2,000 global heads of state, CEOs, and business leaders from multinational corporations in over 40 countries – representing over 6.5 million businesses. In addition to the Summit, more than 130 sideline events have been organized by B20 partners, gathering more than 8,000 participants.
The theme for this year’s summit is ‘Advancing Innovative, Inclusive, and Collaborative Growth’. The B20 aims to achieve this by making policy recommendations to G20 countries on 7 key policy areas, including trade & investment; energy, sustainability, & climate; digitalization; finance & infrastructure; future of work & education; integrity & compliance and women in business. B20 Indonesia has made 25 recommendations for the G20 to consider, across three key priorities:
1) Prioritize innovation to unlock post-pandemic growth;
2) empower MSMEs and vulnerable groups; and,
3) support increased collaboration between developed and developing countries.
M. Arsjad Rasjid P. M., Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN Indonesia), said “It is our great hope that this year’s B20 Summit will find consensus and common cause on priority causes, so as to move forward on a united front. Now more than ever, the voices of global business are called upon to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth for the future.”
Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, Chair of B20 Indonesia, said “At a time when we face unique challenges as a planet, and geopolitical tensions run high, the global business community has a significant role to play: we must come together, and prioritize inclusive, collaborative, and innovative growth.”
The B20 Presidency is supported by prominent Indonesian CEOs who led the preparation of the recommendations to the G20. It is also guided by a group of international business leaders from top companies in G20 countries, called the International Advocacy Caucus. The caucus includes leaders such as Tony Blair and Elon Musk, and together its members assist the B20 leadership with its agenda and priorities, providing valuable insight.
Agenda of G-20 Summit
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the world economy, and developing economies have suffered greater losses than developed ones, Suryono said, adding that the growing gap between developing and developed economies is widening.
The global economy is susceptible to multiple impacts, one of which is exerted by soaring inflation in a number of countries, both rich and poor. The acute spillover effects of aggressive interest rate hikes by some developed economies have destabilized the global financial market and put emerging markets and developing countries under enormous pressure.
In October, the International Monetary Fund adjusted the projected global economic growth for 2023 to 2.7 percent, down by 0.2 percentage points from its previous forecast in July.
“Today we need international cooperation more than ever. I think what has to be taken to this G20 is a positive approach by leaders that is prepared to engage on these issues in a constructive way,” Drysdale said.
Indonesian Minister for Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi said during this year’s general debate of the UN General Assembly that the whole world is pinning their hope on the G20 as a catalyst for global economic recovery, especially for developing countries. “We cannot let global recovery fall at the mercy of geopolitics.”
Role of China
As the world’s second-largest economy and the largest developing country, China supports the G20 in playing a leading role in addressing global challenges and improving global economic governance and calls for an increased representation and a strengthened voice of developing countries in international affairs.
“China has done tremendous as far as building capacities inside their own country and also helping the developing world to overcome the lack of capacities and building desired infrastructures to meet the challenges of the pandemic,” Deepak said.
“I think China will continue to call upon the G20 leaders to build these capacities and to put concentrated efforts in building the kind of health infrastructure it is required,” he said.
In the eyes of Kiyoyuki Seguchi, research director at Japan’s Canon Institute for Global Studies, China adheres to the right course of economic globalization.
“China is committed to working with other countries to foster an international environment conducive to development and create new drivers for global growth,” Seguchi said.
China extends support for G-20 Summit
China supports Indonesia in playing its role as the president of the Group of 20 (G20) and expects the upcoming G20 summit to contribute to global COVID-19 response, economic recovery, and food and energy security, a senior Chinese diplomat said Thursday.
Vice foreign minister Ma Zhaoxu said China supports the theme of “Recover Together, Recover Stronger” of the summit, which will be held in Bali in November. Ma made the remarks at a press conference held on the sidelines of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
“We hope that the G20 summit will play an active and constructive role in such areas as strengthening international cooperation on COVID-19 response, promoting the world economic recovery, and ensuring global food and energy security,” Ma said.
As a G20 member, China has been taking an active part in international economic cooperation and global economic governance, and working with other parties to propel strong global growth that is sustainable, balanced, and inclusive, he added.
Expectations
The analyst believes in the importance of this summit and expects some major breakthroughs later on. It might prove the first step in confidence building and understanding each other. It is expected that the Chinese and the US president might overcome some of the differences and diffuse the geopolitical tension. The remaining differences might be resolved in the follow-ups.
If differences between China and the US narrow downs, the South China Sea, Asia, and the region may become the hub of rapid economic activities and contribute toward the revival of the global economy. It may also benefit the US in return too.
If the US give-up it anti-China campaign and instead cooperates, may transform the situation into a win-win for all and a global win-win. As China has no aggressive designs against the US and just focusing on its own peaceful rise, may be understood by President Bidden after having face to face meeting with President Xi.
Ukraine crisis may be the center place during this summit and a consensus-based solution may be sorted out satisfying all parties involved.
Deterioration of the global economy has a direct impact on developing nations and they are wishing to avail this opportunity to remove major hurdles and create an environment of peace, stability, and trust among all nations.
