During the G20 summit, British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak wants to draw attention to the effects of the Russian invasion, the harm it caused in Ukraine, and the global increase in energy and food prices.
The British “BA Media” agency reported that Sonak will arrive in Bali in Indonesia later today, Sunday, to join other leaders of the world’s largest economy, including US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is anticipated to support the event and send Sergey Lavrov on his behalf despite the fact that Western leaders universally condemned the war.
In response to the financial crisis of 2008, the leaders of the Group of Twenty began meeting annually, and the summit became the primary international forum for economic cooperation.
However, the British Prime Minister said that this year’s meeting will not be a “act as usual”, while the world faces the largest group of economic challenges, which caused or exacerbated due to the actions of a member state in the Group of Twenty.
It appears to be dominated by the first summit to be held since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February of last year, as well as the effects of the conflict, which caused high prices for food and energy around the world.
Before leaving, Sonak released the following statement: “Putin’s war caused destruction all over the world – lives destroyed and entered the international economy in turmoil,” he said.
He added that “in a clear conflict with the turmoil caused by Putin, the United Kingdom and our allies will work together to achieve tangible progress in resolving the economic challenges we face and improving the lives of our peoples. “.
During the G20 summit, the British Prime Minister wants to emphasise the effects of the Ukraine war.
