November also signifies the importance of
Southeast Asia as world leaders attended
three back-to-back major summits in the
region, including the 40th ASEAN Summit,
the G20 and the APEC meeting in Thailand
to address regional as well as global
challenges.
MESSAGE OF PEACE FROM
THE ISLAND OF PEACE
The Leader’s Declaration may appear
overtly political for an economic forum like
the G20, but the devastating impact of the
war on the global economy has unavoidably
made the majority of the bloc’s leaders
demand that Russia get out of Ukraine.
Indonesia was initially criticized for its
perceived “neutrality” by resisting to comply
with western powers’ call to exclude Putin
from the summit, and instead initially
inviting Ukraine President Volodymyr
Zelensky as an observer.
The Bali Declaration calls for the resolution
of any conflicts or crises through peaceful
means, not war, urging respect for
international law and the multilateral
system to ensure peace and stability.
Indonesia’s initiative to push for the
Leader’s Declaration after the door for Joint
Communique was closed, due to constant
disagreements, deserves an applause, as it
boosts the country’s credentials as a
rational decision-maker while under
significant international pressure.
Earlier, Widodo humiliated himself after he
claimed that he had a message from
Zelensky to deliver to Putin after meeting in
Kyiv with Zelensky, whose office denied
such a claim.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo flew
10,000 kilometres to Moscow and Kyiv to
deliver the invitations to Putin and Zelensky
in person, with the hope that the two
warring parties could meet in Bali to discuss
peace - a failed self-declared peace mission
by Indonesia.
Attending the summit at the Island of Peace
- Balis unofficial name - through a video link,
Zelensky outlined 10 points of his peace
plan before G20 leaders, including Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov who came
on behalf of Putin.
