resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo will visit both Ukraine and Russia next week to meet his counterparts and push for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict, Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi said on Wednesday.
Retno confirmed during a news conference the intention of Jokowi to visit Kyiv in addition to Moscow, which had been reported in Indonesian and Russian state media.
Retno did not elaborate on what Jokowi, as president of the G20 this year, would discuss with the two leaders.
The Antara news agency reported on Tuesday that Jokowi, the current chair of the G20 was due to visit Moscow later this month to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This year's meetings of the Group of 20 major economies have been overshadowed by the war in Ukraine, with Indonesia struggling to keep the group united as some Western countries threaten to boycott the summit and push for Russia's exclusion.
Antara reported that Jokowi was scheduled to meet Putin on June 30.
"Yes, that is the president's agenda," the coordinating security minister Mahfud MD told reporters at the presidential palace on Monday.
