G20 host Indonesia said it has finished the “first round” of consultation with members over Russia’s attendance at the bloc’s meetings and summit amid mounting calls from Western countries and their allies for a boycott if Moscow is not excluded from the economic forum. The government also said that it will begin another round of talks with all stakeholders and publicly announce the decision after Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi submits the report to President Joko Widodo . “Through consultation we can map out the country’s views about the importance of G20 in responding to the challenges that the world is currently facing,” Indonesian foreign ministry spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah told reporters on Thursday. “Foreign minister is now launching a second round of consultation [with G20 members], but we will announce [our findings] to the public after she reports to the president as most of the conversations are confidential.” Ukraine war adds complication to US-China rivalry in Indo-Pacific region Teuku added Jakarta is “listening to members’ views and it has got enough time” to take a call on Russia ’s participation in the November summit in Bali. As the diplomatic back and forth continues, Indonesia announced on Thursday that Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and central bank governor Elvira Nabiullina will attend a G20 meeting of global finance chiefs in Washington on April 20 virtually. Wempi Saputra, an expert staff from the Indonesian finance ministry, also told a briefing that the host is considering inviting Ukraine to the meeting “to discuss the impact of the conflict in the country on global economic conditions”. “We don’t have the capacity to not invite [any member]. As the president, Indonesia has invited all members and as of today, some have confirmed physical attendance and some virtual,” Wempi said. “Indonesia’s position is understood by all G20 members – some may disagree and others may agree – but all of them understood. We have told the members that it is time, despite the geopolitical tension, to focus on international economic cooperation.” Indonesia, which holds the rotating G20 presidency, has repeatedly said that it will invite all of the forum’s members, including Russia, to the event despite opposition from the United States, Australia, Canada and Germany over Moscow’s war in Ukraine . Jakarta also got the backing of its biggest trade partner China which has reiterated that the summit is not an appropriate forum to discuss the armed conflict. Southeast Asia’s biggest economy, however, supported a United Nations resolution that condemned the invasion. Ukraine envoy to Indonesia urges G20 to put Russian invasion on agenda Last week, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Washington will boycott some G20 meetings if Russian officials attend, while Germany’s Finance Minister Christian Lindner called for rejection of any form of cooperation with Moscow at the G20. Meanwhile, Japan said that it will attend the finance ministers’ meeting next week despite the Russian delegation’s presence. “The Japanese government is not in the position to respond to each country’s participation,” Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki told a press conference on Friday. The upcoming G20 meeting “is a very important conference to discuss various issues of the global economy, including rising food and energy prices due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine … where participation of each country’s finance minister and central bank governor is basically expected,” Suzuki added. Suzuki added Tokyo will also “take appropriate steps in close cooperation with G7 allies and the host country Indonesia” based on a March G7 leaders’ statement that said international platforms should not continue relations with Russia in a business as usual manner.
