Indonesian President Joko Widodo personally called Vladimir Putin to issue his invitation to the G20 Summit, which is to be held in Bali on Nov. 15-16. Jokowi, as he is called, has been under massive pressure to dis-invite Putin and to join in the illegal and genocidal sanctions against Russia. President Joe Biden publicly called for Russia to be expelled from the G20, as it was expelled from the G8 by the collapsing Western powers.
However, Indonesia, along with all the nations of the world outside of the Five Eyes, the EU and Japan and South Korea, have refused to join in the sanctions policy, and instead, support Indonesia in remaining impartial in diplomacy.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen led a walkout by the U.S., U.K. and Ukraine of an April 13 meeting of G20 financial representatives when the Russian representative was speaking. It is yet to be known if Biden will further isolate the U.S. from the majority of the world by skipping the G20 Summit.
