The Indonesian Communication and Informatics Ministry inaugurated the second 2022 G20 Digital Economy Working Group (DEWG) meeting themed "Achieving Resilient Recovery: Working Together for a More Inclusive, Empowering and Sustainable Digital Transformation" on Tuesday.
According to the ministry’s official site, the working group was mandated to discuss the implementation of an interconnected, protected, and safe digital technology to develop an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable digital economy.
The meeting was led by Chairperson of the 2022 G20 DEWG Mira Tayyiba and Alternate Chairperson of the working group, Dedy Permadi.
Tayyiba is concurrently the ministry's secretary general, while Permadi is the Special Staff of the Communications and Informatics Minister for Digital Policy and Human Resources.
As the chair of the 2022 G20 Presidency, Indonesia has encouraged the 2022 G20 DEWG participants to discuss three priority issues: digital connectivity and post-COVID-19 recovery; digital skills and digital literacy; as well as cross-border data flow and trusted free data flow.
