According to Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be traveling to Indonesia in person for the G20 summit in the fall. The Indonesian President Joko Widodo, as the host of the G20 meeting, said that clearly, Draghi reported on Tuesday after the G7 summit in Bavaria, which Widodo attended as a guest at times.
“Widodo rules this out and was categorical. He (Putin) will not come.” It is unclear whether the Kremlin chief wants to take part in the G20 summit via video link. “We’ll see what will happen,” Draghi said.
According to the state news agency TASS, Putin’s foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said on Monday that Putin wanted to take part in the summit in mid-November on the Indonesian island of Bali. Indonesian President Widodo confirmed Putin’s participation at the end of April. It was therefore recently unclear how the western countries would react to this. (dpa)
