Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. During the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (FMM) in New Delhi on Thursday (3/2/23), Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi said that the G20 Forum should be at the forefront in giving humanitarian assistance, both individually and collectively.

“This forum must maintain its focus on creating prosperity and welfare,” the Minister said in her remarks.

Highlighting the pressing issue of humanitarian crises in wars and conflicts in Myanmar, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Ukraine, she expressed the need for immediate action and solution.

Addressing the crisis in Palestine, she raised her concerns over the lack of attention from UN member states.

“During the opening of the Human Rights Council Meeting in Geneva a few days ago, not a single speaker mentioned the issue of Palestine. This injustice must be ended immediately," the Minister asserted .

Coming from a disaster-prone nation, she said that understands the importance of cooperation in disaster management, including prevention and mitigation efforts. She raised Indonesia's willingness to share its knowledge and experiences in disaster management to other countries in need.

In her closing remarks, she urged the G20 Forum to prioritize the expansion of social protection, the maintenance of economic stability, and efforts to tackle climate change with the commitment to implement the international commitments to disaster risk reduction and climate change, such as the 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework.
