They are scheduled to speak at the forum and hold various bilateral dialogues. One of the agenda items that many are looking forward to is a meeting between United States President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
State leaders and country representatives gradually landed at Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. Russia is represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the absence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The summit is the highest meeting for the group of the 19 largest economies in the world and the European Union. In spite of this, Putin decided not to attend the G20 Summit.
