In foreign media Arabnewsit was reported that Indonesia’s mission was to fight for peace in Ukraine as well as to resolve the ongoing global energy and food crisis.

Jokowi said the meeting was important to prevent developing and low-income countries from falling into extreme poverty and hunger.

“The war must stop and the global food supply chain needs to be reactivated,” Jokowi said.

From this, Indonesian international relations researcher at the University of Queensland, Australia, Dr Ahmad Rizky Mardhatillah Umar said, Indonesia is concerned about how war will affect the G20 presidency, as well as domestic energy and food security.

“Indonesia wants to ensure that Russia and Western countries do not use the G20 as a battlefield to advance their cause,” Umar told Arab News.

According to Umar, because it is still unclear what Indonesia will propose to Zelensky and Putin in the upcoming meeting, Jokowi’s visit is unlikely to change the situation in Europe.

“Indonesia is not in the capacity to mediate conflicts and offer long-term and strategic solutions to end the war,” Umar continued.
