JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Indonesia plans to invite all Group of 20 members, including Russia, to the meeting of finance ministers and governors of the G20 central bank in Washington DC, United States, on 20 April. This decision was made based on Indonesia’s determination to uphold responsibility as holder of the G20 presidency and water down polarization.
“The G20 presidency holder always invites all of its members, this year too. It is a G20 tradition. No one will be excluded. It is hoped that everyone will be in attendance. If Russia attends, it is hoped that everyone else will attend too,” said Deputy Minister for the Coordination of International Economic Cooperation Edi Prio Pambudi, who is also Indonesia's G20 Co-Sherpa, in Jakarta, Sunday (20/3/2022).
