News from The Yak magazine - Curated events and handpicked hotspots for this November - 2022

Welcome to November, and happy?11.11.2022?and the hotly awaited?G20?Summit on the 15th to 16th of November in Nusa Dua.?With so much chit-chat about the?G20?I wonder if we are really aware of what it is? And who is in it?

The?G20?is?a strategic multilateral platform connecting the world's major developed and emerging economies. This meeting is the?official hand over the?‘Presidential' reins from?Indonesia to India and it is the 17th?such summit.?G20 Members are:?Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India,?INDONESIA, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union - with Spain as a Permanent Guest...

As you can see it’s a bit of a 'club'?really, the G20 focus on the connectivity of their countries within the?world, and their?mutual?connectedness, while we, here at The Yak, focus on?you, and our dear island of?Bali.?So rather than get you to sign any?treaties, we would rather offer you?treats...?
