RI ATTENDING G-20 SUMMIT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES` INTEREST
London, April 1 (ANTARA) - Indonesia is participating in the G-20 summit in the interest of developing countries, especially those in Asia, that are struggling to withstand the global financial crisis, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said here Tuesday evening.
G-20 member countries combined account for 85 percent of the world's gross domestic product (GDP) and are home to two-thirds of the global population. They are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, Britain, the United States, South Korea, and the European Union.
Giving a lecture titled "Indonesia : Regional Role, Global Reach" at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in the British capital, President Yudhoyhono said since the G-20 summit in Washington DC in November last year, Indonesia had given a strong signal that to come out of the global financial crisis, the existence of developing countries should not be ignored.
"We should not forget that the developing countries have limited resources to overcome the long spell of dry weather, liquidity, investment, and capital in their economic structures," Yudhoyono said.
Speaking to hundreds of LSE students in English, Yudhoyono said the developing countries had been working hard to build up their economic structures and government institution.
He said the developing countries had also worked hard to implement reforms to develop themselves and reducing their poverty rate.
"These developing countries should not be ignored and left in uncontrollable misery and poverty," Yudhoyono said.
On the occasion, Yudhoyono ensured that in the current global financial crisis, protectionist policies would not be an option for Indonesia.
"It (avoiding protectionism) is a firm political commitment," Yudhoyono said, adding that to get out of the global crisis, the world should make sure that the real economy continued to move.***
