President Joko Widodo told G20 members they must avoid another Cold War as he opened a leaders' summit dominated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Bali on Tuesday.
"We should not divide the world into parts. We must not allow the world to fall into another Cold War," he said in remarks before the summit's first session.
He also said that the group of 20 major economies must succeed in tackling the world's most pressing crises as he opened a leaders' summit on the resort island of Bali.
"Today, the world's eye is on us. Will we score a success? Or will we add one more failure? For me, the G20 must be successful, it must not fail," he told members.
