JAKARTA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) for his support for Ukraine, and mentioned an invitation to attend the G20 Summit in Bali in October.

President Zelensky wrote that in his upload on his Twitter account, Wednesday 27 April.

"Spoken with President @Jokowi. Thank you for supporting sovereignty and territorial integrity, especially for a clear position at the UN. The issue of food security was discussed. Thank you for inviting me to the G20 Summit," wrote President Zelensky.

Previously, US President Joe Biden said Ukraine should be allowed to attend the G20 summit in Bali, if Indonesia as the G20 Presidency and other countries did not agree to the elimination of Russia.

Meanwhile, Indonesia will continue to invite Russia to attend the G20 Summit which will be held at the end of October, amid heavy criticism of the invasion of Ukraine.

"As a presidency and in accordance with the previous presidency, Indonesia invites all members," said the Special Staff for Strengthening Priority Programs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as the G20 Co-Sherpa Dian Triansyah Djani in a virtual press statement last Thursday, March 24.

Had talks with President @jokowi. Thanked for the support of sovereignty and territorial integrity, in particular for a clear position in the UN. Food security issues were discussed. Appreciate inviting me to the @g20org summit
