JAKARTA - If peace is the main choice, winning or losing is no longer the final choice of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, so President Jokowi's invitation for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 Summit in November 2022 should be attended.
According to the observer of Communication Studies at the Graduate School of Sahid University, Dr. Algooth Putranto's offer by the Indonesian President to promote dialogue must be understood as a real effort to create world peace.
"If both parties want peace, I think both Zelenskyy and Putin should comply with President Jokowi's invitation to attend the G20 event in Bali. For President Putin, at least this can save Russia face after the failed invasion of Ukraine," he told VOI Friday, July 1.
On the contrary, he continued, for President Zelenskyy this is a great opportunity to achieve peace for his country. In fact, it allows Ukraine to gain attention in the form of investment and direct assistance from G20 member countries.
As is well known, the G20 aims to discuss policies in order to achieve international financial stability. In general, the goal of the G20 is to achieve strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive global growth.
According to Algooth, the invitation for the two conflicting countries is a clear message that Indonesia as the G20 presidency does not want a split at the G20 summit later in Bali. Indonesia's attitude is also the answer to a number of countries who want to reject Russia's presence in Bali.
“The presence of Zelenskyy and Putin could be an answer for America and its allies in NATO. After all, NATO's prestige was saved after it was unable to unanimously take a stand against Russia's invasion of Ukraine," he said.
He reminded that NATO's hesitation in responding to the Russia-Ukraine conflict caused casualties and traumatized the dissolution of SEATO, a similar defense pact initiated by America and France in Southeast Asia.
SEATO is a defense pact established by the United States, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Bangladesh, France, and the United Kingdom on September 8, 1954 in Manila. SEATO is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand.
However, on June 30, 1977, SEATO was officially dissolved after Britain, France and Pakistan withdrew from membership in the organization and culminated in the defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War in 1975.
Meanwhile, for Indonesia, the presence of Zelenskyy and Putin increases Indonesia's opportunity to introduce the G20 organization to people in the country who are less familiar and caring.
The lack of popularity of the G20 organization in Indonesian society is at least reflected in a survey conducted by the Lowy institute in 2020 and 2021. “The results are sad because less than 5 percent of the people surveyed consider the G20 to be important. Now, Mr. Zelenskyy's presence will be interesting and have the opportunity to make our people want to know what Ukraine is and of course the G20," he said while hoping that Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin could both go to Bali to fulfill Jokowi's invitation.
