Indonesia is facing a test of its ambition to be a global player as the United States and allies discuss the prospect of expelling Russia from the G20 group of major economies.
While Indonesia supported a United Nations General Assembly resolution condemning the invasion, President Joko Widodo and ministers in his government have refrained from directly criticising Russia for its aggression and have called for dialogue and negotiation rather than sanctions. “Russia has been invited,” she said. “We are very appreciative of the position of the Indonesian government which has adopted the presidency of G20 for this year,” she said. “Of course the G20 is not a forum to discuss or to solve this kind of crisis. Actually, it’s a forum to improve the economic situation and solve economic problems.”
“The G20 at the leadership level is one of the few processes where all the main countries sit together,” he said.
