6:47 am: “It is our responsibility to end the war as soon as possible”
Indonesia, the host country of the G20 this year, called for an end to the war in Ukraine on Friday at the opening of a meeting of the group’s foreign ministers in Bali.
“It is our responsibility to end the war as soon as possible and settle our differences at the negotiating table, not on the battlefield,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in the presence of her Russian counterpart. Sergei Lavrov.
The effect of the war “is being felt around the world, on food, energy and budgets”, she pointed out. “And as always, poor and developing countries are the most affected.”
