President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has called on leaders of the Group of 20 major economies to resolve their differences at the Bali summit later this month, in the hope of easing tensions arising from the Russia-Ukraine war.

“All parties must exercise restraint. Avoid confrontation and respect all agreements that have been made,” Jokowi said in an interview with The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

The Ukraine war has overshadowed meetings of the G20 hosted by Indonesia, which has struggled to unify members while resisting pressure from Western states that have been pushing for Russia's exclusion from the G20 Leaders' Summit in Bali.
