My comments :

The 20 members states of the G20 are : Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, European Union.

The G20 is a group representing major world economies - both from the developed  and developing countries like Indonesia and India. Its composition does represent the major countries and powers. The G20 is a lot less exclusive than say the the G7 or the G8, where only the richest countries are represented.

The appointment of Indonesia to the presidency is rotational but n'theless Indonesia is now an up and coming economy. Indonesia has increasing clout because of its growing footprint - both as a producer and consumer - in the global supply chain. Which also attracts global capital flows.
