TRANSCRIPT
Laporan ini disusun oleh Delegasi Indonesia ke Y20 Summit Jerman 2017 dan Indonesian Youth Diplomacy.
Indonesian Youth Diplomacy atau IYD adalah sebuah organisasi yang didirikan oleh anak muda untuk anak muda yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas dan partisipasi pemuda dalam diplomasi internasional untuk meningkatkan kontribusi terhadap pembangunan nasional dan kerjasama internasional. Kami ada sebagai wadah bagi pemuda-pemudi Indonesia yang tertarik pada isu-isu pembangunan, finansial, lingkungan, dan ekonomi di skala internasional untuk dapat mendalami isu- isu tersebut dan mengapl ikasikan pengetahuan mereka dalam pertemuanpertemuan dan kegiatan strategis di mana kami bisa mengembangkan jaringan dan kerjasama.
IYD telah merekrut, melatih, dan mengirimkan delegasi-delegasi pemuda ke G8 dan G20 Youth Summit sejak tahun 2010. Para delegasi terlibat dalam menyusun komunike dan deklarasi dalam pertemuan Pemuda G8 dan G20. IYD sebelumnya dikenal sebagai G20 Youth Indonesia dan pada tahun 2013 mengubah namanya menjadi yang sekarang ini untuk memperluas lingkup kerjanya agar mencakup agenda-agenda diplomatik lainnya, seperti agenda pembangunan post-2015 dan pertemuan Majelis Umum PBB, dan melakukan program-program penjangkauan, seperti IYDDiplomatic Workshop dan Meet the Diplomats – sebuah kolaborasi antara IYD dan kedutaan besar asing di Indonesia.

Pendahuluan
Youth 20 (Y20) atau yang juga disebut sebagai G20 Youth Summit ini merupakan kelompok konsultasi resmi dari forum Group of 20 (G20). Seperti kelompok konsultasi G20 lainnya, delegasi Y20 bertugas untuk memformulasikan rekomendasi terhadap topik-topik terkait isu global skala nasional dan global dari sudut pandang pemuda kepada para pemimpin negara-negara anggota G20.
Perwakilan Pemuda
Pada G20 Youth Summit di Berlin tahun ini, sekitar 70 orang pemuda dari negara anggota G20 dan negara tamu termasuk Singapura, Belanda, Nowegia, Spanyol) serta perwakilan dari organisasi internasional seperti Organisation for Economic Co-operation (OECD), Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC), World Trade Organization (WTO), International Labor Organization (ILO), New partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth (UNMGCY), United Nations Inter-Agency Network on Youth Development’s Working Group on Youth & Gender Equality.
Dari observasi kami, setiap negara mengirimkan sebanyak dua delegasi dan rata-rata umur delegasi pemuda di Y20 Summit 2017 sekitar 25 tahun. Komposisi gender dalam perwakilan pemuda yang hadir juga berbeda-beda. Ada beberapa negara yang mengirimkan dua delegasi wanita namun kebanyakan mengirimkan satu wanita dan satu pria untuk mewakili negara mereka masing-masing.
Acara
G20 Youth Summit 2017 mengangkat 11 topik utama yang telat ditetapkan sebelum konferensi Y20 Summit dimulai di Berlin. Penetapan 10 topik utama tersebut sudah di diskusikan via media sosial dan telah melalui proses voting. 10 topik utama yang dibahas di Y20 Summit tahun ini antara lain; perekonomian dunia, perdagangan internasional, pekerjaan, digitalisasi, perubahan iklim, Agenda 2030, pemberdayaan wanita, masalah pengungsi, terorisme, anti-korupsi, kesehatan dan kualitas hidup. Selama pelaksanaan Y20 Summit sendiri, para perwakilan pemuda melakukan negosiasi sampai terbentuknya komunike yang final dan diserahkan kepada Kanselir Jerman, Angela Merkel pada tanggal 7 Juni 2017. Dokumentasi acara yang lengkap dapat dilihat di Lampiran C: Dokumentasi Konferensi.
Hasil
Delegasi Indonesia berhasil memasukan poin-poin yang menyangkut kepenting nasional Indonesia dan juga mempertahankan posisi-posisi penting Indonesia dalam menyikapi isu-isu global yang berkembang saat ini. Poin-poin yang dimasukan antara lain dibutuhkannya sebuah system perdagangan yang tidak hanya bebas namun juga adil bagi kedua negara yang sedang berdagang, perlu diaturnya para pengungsi yang ada di seluruh dunia, pentingnya memberantas korupsi, pentingnya
factor inklusivitas dalam pembangunan ekonomi agar pertumbuhan dirasakan oleh seluruh kalangan masyarakat. Kemudian, kami juga mendukung mayoritas perwakilan di Y20 Summit untuk menegaskan komitmen semua negara terhadap perjanjian iklim Paris (Paris Climate Agreement), terlebih setelah Presiden AS Trump menarik diri dari perjanjian tersebut.
Delegasi Indonesia juga berhasil mempertahankan dan menunjukan nilai-nilai kebangsaan dan jati diri bangsa ketika berdiskusi dengan perwakilan pemuda lainnya seperti tetap sopan dan ramah, mengutamakan musyawarah dan selalu memberika ide dan pendapat yang berada dalam koridor hukum yang berlaku di Indonesia beserta nilai-nilai keagamaan yang diakui oleh negara Republik Indonesia. Kami rasa penting untuk menunjukan nilai-nilai tersebut, agar jati diri dan identitas bangsa Indonesia benar-benar ditunjukan pada KTT Y20 Summit 2017 ini.
Dukungan
Delegasi Indonesia ke Y20 Summit Jerman 2017 berada dibawah dukungan dan naungan dari Indonesia Youth Diplomacy (IYD) dan didukung oleh Sherpa G20 Indonesian dan Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian serta Kementerian Luar Negeri. Delegasi Indonesia juga mendapatkan dukungan dari pemerintah Jerman untuk keperluan transportasi pulang-pergi Jakarta- Berlin, transportasi ketika berada di Berlin serta akomodasi. Dari segi persiapan, delegasi Indonesia juga dibantu oleh U-Report Indonesia dalam rangka menyerap aspirasi-aspirasi pemuda Indonesia mengenai isu-isu yang akan di bahas di KTT Y20 Summit ini. Terakhir, delegasi Indonesia juga mendapatkan sambutan dan dukungan dari KBRI Berlin dimana kami bertemu dan diterima oleh Wakil Duta Besar Indonesia untuk Jerman di Kedutaan Besar Republik Indonesia di Berlin, Jerman.

Delegasi Indonesia tiba di lokasi KTT Y20 Summit di Berlin
Kamis, 1 Juni 2017
Pada tanggal 1 Juni, semua delegasi pemuda dari negara-negara G20, negara undangan serta organisasi internasional mendarat di kota Berlin dan langsung dijemput oleh pihak panitia untuk langsung menuju ke hotel. Setiba di hotel, kami langsung berkumpul di ruang konferensi untuk menghadiri acara pembukaan yang bersifat lebih santai dan informal. Acara pembukaan tersebut hanya dibuka oleh panitia penyelenggara acara dan belum ada perwakilan dari pemerintah Jerman. Kami juga menerima perlengkapan konferensi serta tanda pengenal kami sebagai perwakilan pemuda dari Indonesia.
Jumat, 2 Juni 2017
Jika kemarin merupakan pembukaan secara informal oleh panitia penyelenggara acara, pada tanggal 2 Juni kami diterima langsung oleh Menteri Sekretaris Negara, Dr. Ralf Kleindik di kantor Kementerian Pemuda dan Keluarga. Beliau menyampaikan pesan
p e m b u k a a n s e r t a h a r a p a n - h a r a p a n pemerintah Jerman atas konferensi Y20 yang didanai langsung o l e h p e m e r i n t a h J e r m a n i n i . Kemudian, ada juga sesi tanya jawab dengan beliau dan juga sesi foto bersama dengan Dr. Ralf Kleindik sesudah acara pembukaan dan sesi tanya jawab. Delegasi Indonesia mendapatkan kesempatan untuk bertanya pada sesi tanya jawab, dimana kami menyampaikan harapan kami dari konferensi Y20 ini, serta isu-isu global yang perlu dibahas di dalam konfersi Y20 ini.
Sabtu dan Minggu, 3 - 4 Juni 2017
Keesokan harinya, barulah kami memulai berdiskusi dan berdebat mengenai 10 topik yang sudah ditetapkan oleh para perwakilan pemuda dari setiap negara. Kami membentuk 10 working group dimana setiap working group akan membahas mengenai 1 topik. Delegasi Indonesia, Melvin Hade m e m i m p i n w o r k i n g g r o u p m e n g e n a i p e r e k o n o m i a n g l o b a l d a n p e r d a g a n g a n
internasional sedangkan Sherley Sandiori memimpin pembahasan working group mengenai pengungsi atau refugee and assylum seekers.
P a d a h a r i M i n g g u , k a m i melanjutkan pembahasan di dalam working group tersebut namun juga ada sesi presentasi dimana setiap working group mempresentasikan hasil diskusi mereka selama dua hari dua ruangan utama konferensi. Suasana konferensi pada saat ini memang santai dan informal sehingga para delegasi pemuda berpakaian casual. Hal ini memang sudah ditetapkan oleh panitia agar konferensi berjalan dengan nyaman di akhir pekan ini.
Senin, Juni 5, 2017
Pada hari Senin, para delegasi konferensi Y20 diajak untuk bersantai sejenak dan menikmati kota Berlin dengan melakukan kegiatan touristic discovery. Kami diberikan kesempatan untuk melihat-lihat kota Berlin yang dipandu oleh seorang tour guide yang memang sudah disiapkan oleh panitia. Pada kesempatan ini juga, Delegasi Indonesia membangun hubungan erat dengan perwakilan negara-negara lain, khususnya negara-negara yang memiliki kepentingan nasional yang sama seperti negara-negara Asia.
Selasa, 6 Juni 2017
Kemudian kami bertemu dengan juru bicara Kanselir Jerman, Steven Seibert pada hari Selasa, 6 Juni 2017 di sebuah hotel di pusat kota Berlin atau yang juga disebut dengan Berlin Mitte. Beliau merupakan sosok yang sangat dekat dengan Kanselir Merkel, sehingga kami mencoba untuk menyampaikan draft komunike kami kepada beliau agar dapat dikritisi dan dikomentari oleh beliau. Hal ini dilakukan agar kami mempersiapkan diri sebelum bertemu dengan Kanselir Merkel besok.
Rabu, 7 Juni 2017
7 Juni 2017 merupakan hari yang paling ditunggu-tunggu oleh semua peserta KTT Y20 Summit karena hari ini merupakan puncak dari konferensi kami dan kami akan menyerahkan position paper kami kepada Kanselir Jerman, Angela Merkel. Kami tiba di kantor Kanselir pada pukul 2 siang dan bertemu dengan Kanselir Merkel pada jam 3 siang tepatnya di ruangan International Conference Room. Para delegasi pemuda menyambut kedatangan Kanselir Merkel dengan sangat meraih yang dibalas dengan sebuah senyuman oleh Kanselir Merkel.
Setiap delegasi duduk mewakili negara mereka masing-masing, dan disediakan sebuah placard untuk setiap delegasi yang bertuliskan nama negara atau organisasi yang mereka wakili. Pada saat berdiskusi dengan Kanselir Merkel, semua delegasi pemuda mengakui bahwa Kanselir Merkel banyak berinteraksi dan aktif bertanya dan meminta penjelasan yang lebih detail dari masing-masing delegasi. Keaktifannya tersebut menunjukan bahwa kami, delegasi pemuda Y20 2017 telah menyerahkan suatu position paper yang memberikan masukan yang penting baginya.
Pertemuan dengan Kanselir Merkel berlangsung sekitar 1 jam dan 15 menit kemudian acara langsung dilanjutkan dengan jumpa pers di tempat yang sama dan juga sesi foto bersama dengan Kanselir Jerman.
