‘Not G19’: Why Indonesia won’t bar Russia from the G20

Al Jazeera  

After a walkout by some Western countries over the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Indonesia is working out its strategy for November’s summit. Medan, Indonesia – Indonesia is “in consultation” with other members of the G20 amid growing calls for Russia to be barred from the economic forum’s November summit in Bali. “Sadly, this is President Jokowi’s fate,” Kosman Samosir, a lecturer in international law and vice dean of the law faculty at Santo Thomas Catholic University in Medan, Indonesia, told Al Jazeera. “Of course this had to happen now, when Indonesia has the presidency, and has to face the prospect of expelling Russia or risk members boycotting and the whole forum failing.” According to Angelo Abil Wijaya, the head of project management and research at Y20 Indonesia, the official youth engagement group to the G20 Leaders Summit, the stakes could not be higher. “Indonesia doesn’t want a completely isolated Russia that would be too close to China.” Learning from the past This is not the first time tensions have flared between Russia and other G20 members.
