Bali. The B20 Summit, the annual gathering of business leaders from the world’s biggest economies grouping in the G20, saw a record number of participants on Sunday, the organizers claimed.

Around 2,000 delegates and participants were present at the venue during the opening day of the two-day conference in Nusa Dua, Bali.

“We have keynote speakers and panels covering the B20 priorities addressing all global pressing issues, reflecting the emphasis we put on inclusivity in the B20 Indonesia process toward the year,” B20 Indonesia Chair Shinta Kamdani said in her opening remarks. 

“I’m proud to highlight the diversity of our speakers and audience with us today: 100 speakers from more than 30 countries, and 2,000 attendees in person from more than 69 countries. This is definitely a new high in B20 history,” she said.

The Indonesian edition of the B20 Summit is hosted by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin).
