The biggest gather in Bali, the G20 summit begins

Leaders of the world's most industrialized countries, known as the G20 group, opened talks on the Indonesian island of Bali on Tuesday. The calls from the host country were for unity and for concrete actions in the recovery of the global economy.

"We have no choice, we need cooperation to save the world," Indonesian President Joko Widodo said before the leaders of the wealthiest countries began closed-door talks.

"The G20 must be a catalyst for comprehensive economic recovery. We should not divide the world into parts. We must not allow the world to enter another cold war," said Widodo.

The G20, which includes countries from Brazil to India, Saudi Arabia and Germany, accounts for more than 80% of the world's gross domestic product, 75% of international trade and 60% of the population.

The summit is expected to take steps to address food security, affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a US official told reporters.

A positive sign ahead of the summit was the meeting between US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, in which the two leaders promised more frequent communications, despite major differences.

Monday's meeting was their first face-to-face since Biden took office in 2021.

The war in Ukraine and rising global inflation, however, overshadowed the summit.

This is the first time the G20 has met since Russia launched an invasion of its neighbor in late February.

The invasion prompted calls from some Western leaders to boycott the summit and withdraw the invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Indonesia resisted, refusing to withdraw Putin's invitation. The Kremlin said Putin was too busy to attend the summit and sent Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov instead.

According to a tweet by the EU ambassador to Indonesia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the summit via video link.

A joint G20 communiqué, which would have to be approved by all parties, appears unlikely, although European Council President Charles Michel said there is agreement among officials on its text. According to a draft seen by the Reuters news agency, G20 leaders will condemn the use or any threat to use nuclear weapons.

Meetings of G20 ministers have failed to produce joint communiques, due to disagreements between Russia and other members over the language to use, including how to describe the war in Ukraine.

The West has accused Russia of irresponsible statements about the possible use of nuclear weapons. Russia, for its part, has accused the West of "provocative" nuclear rhetoric.
