The leaders of Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Türkiye and Australia (MIKTA) met in the sidelines of the Bali G20 Summit hosted by Indonesia, on 15 November 2022.

This year marks the first decennial of the G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting hosted by Mexico in February 2012 in Los Cabos, where the idea of MIKTA was first discussed as a cross-regional and flexible consultative platform among five democracies that benefit from open economies with significant global and regional influences.

At this time of unparalleled multidimensional crises, MIKTA countries remain committed to international peace, stability and prosperity. While addressing the unprecedented global economic and security challenges we face, we are encouraged by our shared values and similarities, which involve, first and foremost, democracy and the respect for international law, multilateralism and international cooperation.

As resolute advocates for enhanced global governance and determined to play a bridging role between developed and developing nations, MIKTA will continue to play a constructive role on the global stage and contribute to efforts to build consensus on issues that affect all.

We thank Türkiye for its chairing of MIKTA this year, congratulate Indonesia on its successful G20 Presidency and thank President Widodo for his exceptional hospitality here in Bali.

We will continue our close cooperation and work towards further achievements under Indonesia’s MIKTA Chairmanship in 2023.
