The world’s leading economies are in Indonesia for the G20 summit

Twenty of the world’s leading economies are in Bali for the all-important G20 summit, including the U.S., China, France, India, the UK and Australia.

The forum is an opportunity for leading superpowers to improve relations and overcome shared economic challenges.

This is a special G20.

We have to address the global consequences of Russia’s war on food and energy security, while staying the course on our global agenda.

It’s a challenge that Europe is ready to tackle.

We’ve arrived in Indonesia for the @G20org Summit, and I started off by announcing new support for Ukraine. We’re providing them with $500 million in military assistance to make sure they have the equipment – and the fuel and medical supplies – that they need.

Putin missing from G20

However, undeniably, this summit comes at a time of great geopolitical tension and conflict.

Notably, Russia’s Vladimir Putin will not be attending. Instead, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will take his position.

Reports have been circulating that Lavrov was taken to hospital upon arrival to Bali. However, these are claims the Russian firmly denies.

Lavrov has instead scolded ‘Western journalists’ for what he describes as false reporting.

The historic meeting will be an opportunity for leaders to come face-to-face in a bid to stabilise and reach consensus on a range of fronts.

There’s doubt the Ukraine war will be prominent on everyones mind.

Front and centre, is President Biden’s meeting with China’s Xi Jinping as the two leaders attempt to cooperate and improve relations.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
