A small incident colored the arrival of President Jokowi and his wife, Iriana at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali on November 14. When descending the plane's stairs, Iriana slipped and fell sitting. Jokowi was quick to hold Iriana's body load holding her hand by holding onto the iron safety of the stairs.

Paspampres who saw the incident rushed to help Iriana. However, Jokowi blocked him by lifting his hand. Iriana then stood up with the help of two staff who came from the plane. His condition is good without injury.

"The first lady is in good condition," said Bey when confirmed via text message, Monday, November 14.

United States President Joe Biden and Chinese President held a special meeting on the sidelines of the Bali G20 Summit. This is Biden's first moment meeting directly with Jinping after he was elected President of the United States.

They met as the relationship conditions between the two countries became increasingly harmonious, both in economic and geopolitical competition. The hotter it was when US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ignored China's refusal and continued to visit Taiwan last August.

The Chinese government considers the visit a provocative and disruptive attempt by China's sovereignty over Taiwan. China then responded with the launch of ballistic missile tests on Taipei for the first time.

Both agreed to maintain harmony and not tolerate threats and use of nuclear weapons.

"We will compete with enthusiasm. But I am not looking for conflict, I want to manage this competition responsibly," Biden said.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Truedau relaxed for a moment after arriving in Bali on Monday (14/11).

They talk warmly at a restaurant cafe in South Kuta, Bali. It seems relaxed to enjoy drinks and snacks without wearing official suits. Strategic issues related to foreign policies around the economy and politics in the Indo-Pacific region are also a topic of conversation.

Arriving in Bali on November 14, 2022, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was reportedly sick and had to receive treatment at the hospital. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denied the news. He posted a Lavrov video, looking healthy in a T-shirt and shorts.

They have written about our president for 10 years that he fell ill. This is a game that is nothing new in politics, Lavrov said in the video.

Russia's state news agencyTass separately quoted Lavrov as saying, "I'm at the hotel reading the material for tomorrow's summit."

United States President Joe Biden saluted President Jokowi for welcoming him to the venue of the G20 Bali Summit, The Apurva Kempinski Hotel.

President Jokowi smiled when he saw Biden, they then shook hands while talking briefly. The two then took a photo in front of the background with the words G20 Indonesia 2022.

Despite being the first head of state to come to Bali, Biden arrived at the venue for the G20 Bali Summit when all the heads of state were already in the meeting room.

Delegation of participating countries at the G20 Bali Summit participated in a gala dinner activity at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park on November 15, 2022.

The activity was also attended by former presidents and vice presidents and a number of government officials. These include Try Sutrisno, Megawati, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), Jusuf Kalla, Hamzah Haz, and Puan Maharani.

They sat together on the same table. Megawati and SBY compactly wore matching colors.

The G20 made history and rare moments. Joe Biden & Xi Jinping shook hands. Megawati & SBY sat at the table, a genz student tweet, Wednesday (16/11).

Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono stole the attention. When all ministers accompanied the President and delegates from the G20 Bali Summit visiting the Mangrove Grand Forest Park (Tahura), Basuki actually looked engrossed in the camera.

In the video circulating, Basuki like a professional photographer, continues to hunt down interesting moments. His appearance is not even like most ministers, wearing white collared T-shirts with a hat that reads "PUPR" which is upside down.

Pak Bas, Basuki's nickname, often appears as it is in public. Not only this time, in several previous events, he had never hesitated to look back and show his ability to play drums.

No wonder the @nopal_ account wrote on Twitter, Mr. Basuki's routine: In the morning, the main work of being a graduation photographer, event & ceremony. Sore afternoon Malem is busy freelance to be a minister building toll roads, comedians & drummers.

Mr. Bas' action became a trending topic on Twitter on Wednesday (16/11). Zulfikar Akbar considers officials like Mr. Bas to be able to enter all circles.

"The only official that everyone accepts, it feels like only the hat is muter," said Zulfikar on Twitter.
