The upcoming G-20 Summit in Seoul will have at least two new items on the agenda: development and maritime environmental security, according to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Yudhoyono told a press conference here Thursday before his departure for Seoul that he would be a 'lead speaker' at the summit’s development discussion.
"This year's G-20 Summit will discuss development, which is very important for developing countries such as Indonesia because we don't want the global economy to become unbalanced, unfair or ignorant of the problems faced by developing countries," Yudhoyono said.
"[Development] will be discussed for the first time and thank God Indonesia will be given a role. I will be a lead speaker at the G-20 Summit session tomorrow discussing important development issues."
Yudhoyono said South Korean President Lee Myung-bak had called him on Wednesday evening and asked Yudhoyono to attend the summit and support the interests of developing nations by playing active role in the development session.
The summit will also discuss maritime environmental security, which Yudhoyono said was very relevant to the interests of Indonesia as the world's largest archipelago.
Other subjects to be discussed at the summit include strong, balanced and sustainable economic growth; international financial institution reform; financial system regulation; climate change and trade and investment, Yudhoyono said.
