Melons in bali g20 what the prime minister said

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni speaks at the world summit of the 20 most important countries, the G20, in Bali, Indonesia. She is the only woman to lead a government among the major countries of the world.

“When Indonesia took over the presidency of the G20 – Meloni said in his speech on November 15 – it was impossible to foresee that Russia would invade Ukraine”. Just as it was not possible to foresee “the devastating impact this would have on the world order and our economies”. “To succeed in its mission, the G20 must have the courage to face the most difficult challenges on the agenda,” said the Italian Prime Minister.

According to the new government in Rome, the difficult challenges mean above all “the consequences of the Ukrainian conflict. In the economic, energy and food fields. “Effects that” affect everyone and undoubtedly affect developing countries in a preponderant way”. “President Widodo – adds Meloni, addressing the Indonesian president – last year in Rome, no one would have thought that it would come to this. With the war, the food crisis and the energy emergency. But we didn’t let anyone intimidate us.”

“We reacted and continued to work together,” says Giorgia Meloni. “Not only on energy and food, but also on many other challenges. The defense of the environment, the fight against climate change, more efficient infrastructures, quality education, health for all. Future generations deserve a better world and we all have a duty to work towards this. “Italy, together with the European Union – concludes the Prime Minister – intervenes to deal with the disproportionate and disproportionate growth in energy prices. Increase national production and accelerate the diversification of supply sources. »

According to Giorgia Meloni, the war in Ukraine has certainly contributed to aggravating the global energy crisis. But it’s not just this aspect. Because the crisis “has finally brought to light the many mistakes made, at least since the beginning of the 2000s, in energy policies and in relations between producer and consumer countries”. “Paradoxically, the opportunity to make the world more sustainable can also emerge from the drama of the energy crisis”, launches the Prime Minister before the big names of the G20. The Italian hope and objective is also to “build a more balanced market. Where speculators have less influence and supplier countries (of energy, editor’s note) have fewer opportunities to use energy as a weapon against other countries. The G20 is for Meloni the second summit of the highest international level in which the Cop27 in Egypt took part last week after the UN climate conference.
