The declaration consisted of 52 paragraphs," said President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in a press conference after closing the G20 Summit, Nusa Dua, Bali, Wednesday (16/ 11/2022)
The Indonesian government is considered successful in running a series of presidencies in the midst of high world geopolitical tensions.

Another form of diplomacy is Jokowi's invitation to all delegation leaders, heads of state and heads of government to plant mangrove seeds in the Ngurah Rai Grand Forest Park (Tahura), Denpasar, Wednesday (11/16/2022).
President Jokowi said that as a country with the largest mangrove forest in the world, namely 3.3 million hectares, Indonesia wants to make a major contribution to global climate change.
"This was previously a fish pond area, an abrasive area. Now it is home to 33 species of mangrove trees which are also home to more than 300 fauna," Jokowi explained in a press statement, Wednesday (16/11/2022), quoted from Presidential Secretariat's official YouTube account.
On this occasion, the heads of state who attended took a group photo, wearing white uniforms and happy faces.
During this mangrove planting session, President Jokowi was flanked by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his right and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on his left. Also present were Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.
After planting the seeds, President Jokowi then invited state guests to tour the Ngurah Rai Tahura. The delegation leaders exchanged friends to talk. Familiarity and a relaxed atmosphere can be seen as long as they walk around.
President Jokowi, for example, was seen chatting several times with Joe Biden, who was walking in the front row. Behind the two, Narendra Modi also appeared to be chatting casually with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Jokowi also invited the leaders to see the location of the mangrove seedlings. The President even squatted several times to pick up and show the mangrove seedlings to the guests. After the tour, the President invited the leaders to rest and eat the food provided.
This joint mangrove planting event is a form of joint commitment to addressing global climate change in accordance with the G20 theme Recover Together, Recover Stronger. Mangroves are known to be able to absorb carbon, protect the land from erosion, become a habitat for marine life, and prevent sea abrasion.
