Indonesian President Joko Widodo has confirmed the attendance of both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the upcoming G20 summit in Bali.
It will be the first major global summit that Putin has attended since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the heightened tensions relating to China and Taiwan.
It will also be the first time Xi has left China since his nation closed its borders due to the pandemic.
Xi has only left the mainland once – to go to Hong Kong – to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its return to China in July.
