7:12 am
to take a stronger approach against russia that have pushed for thanks. and we know that some of those ministers have already made the point of saying that they will not shake hands with the russian foreign minister. so gay, lovegrove. but then on the other hand, we have countries that have long standing positive relations with russia. countries like china, india, and indeed indonesia. so jakarta is in that position of trying to bridge the gap, but also trying to focus it's a g 20 presidency on the issues that are important to indonesia, namely host pandemic, economic recovery, and issues such as food security and the energy crisis in a statement. the indonesian foreign ministry noted that food, overcoming the food crisis, fertilize the shortage, rising global commodity prices, disruption to global supply chains. these must be priorities and the g 20 must work to find solutions to these problems, particularly in their, in relation to the impact on developing countries. indonesia has held
