Address by the Deputy Chairperson of the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Indonesia, Co-Chair of G20 EMPOWER Indonesia Rinawati Prihatiningsih to the participants of the IV Eurasian Women's Forum

Dear delegates, friends and colleagues, greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia!

It is a great honor for me to speak before you today, even though I cannot be here in beautiful St. Petersburg with you in person.

As many of you may know, I was fortunate to attend the third Eurasian Women's Forum in 2021, where I witnessed first-hand the amazing resilience of women leaders in the face of global challenges.

This forum became a beacon of hope, demonstrating how women can drive change, build resilience and build a better future for all.

During this time, I have met inspiring leaders who have become like sisters to me, especially the A-team from APEC BEST, the Russian Initiative in APEC, which I have had the pleasure of assisting as a jury member since 2017.

And now we are here again to discuss the critical role women play in building global trust and cooperation. Our shared mission to empower women around the world remains central to my heart.

The discussions and initiatives that have emerged from this forum will undoubtedly move us toward achieving these goals. And I intend to support these efforts, even from a distance.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the organizers and all participants for making this forum possible. Your commitment to advancing our common cause is truly commendable. I am confident that our work here will continue to contribute to building stronger and more resilient communities around the world.

I look forward to collaborating with you all, whether remotely or in person in the future. Thank you and I wish you all a successful and fulfilling forum.
