On June 20, 2022, the Centre for Global Affairs and Public Policy hosted a round table discussion on G-20, the Indo-Pacific, and the Regional Economic Order: Collaborative Synergies between India and Indonesia at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi. A panel of policy experts from India and Indonesia addressed two sessions at the event. Executive Director – INDEF, Jakarta, Dr. Tauhid Ahmad stated during a session titled Exploring Synergies in the G-20 that data protection in Indonesia is a major issue that requires the government to develop a cohesive policy to address. He also stated that Indonesia supports an all-encompassing partnership with India.
The Roundtable discussed the profound changes that have occurred in regional architecture as a result of the emergence of new constructs such as the IPEF; its engagement with G20 priorities; and the critical role that India and Indonesia can play in contributing to the IPEF and G20 agendas. Panelists agreed that IPEF is a vision of the future that will improve regional and global trade, open partnership, and scaling on larger platforms, emphasising the importance of stakeholder collaboration. They also stated that IPEF is an example of the growing number of flexible global engagement arrangements that countries are pursuing, such as FTAs focused on specific goods and services and loose regional groupings with open membership rules.
