Indonesian President Joko Widodo was interviewed on CNBC June 17 from Serang, Indonesia, and said that he is now joining those few heads of state who are organizing for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Jokowi said it “must end” as it’s driving up food and energy prices and putting developing nations like Indonesia at risk. “The most important thing that I’m concerned with is the food price. So, we want the war in Ukraine to be stopped, resolved with negotiation so that we can concentrate [on] the economy. “If not, it will never be over, this is dangerous for countries, particularly, developing countries.”
As EIR has reported, President Widodo is the host of the November meeting of the G20 and has insisted against great pressure from the United States, and efforts by Australia to remove Russia’s G20 membership, that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been included in the invitations to that meeting.
