oreign Minister Sugiono met with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha this week in a bilateral meeting in Italy, where they discussed plans for peace amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The meeting, conducted on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) Foreign Affairs Ministers’ meeting with Indo-Pacific partners in Fiuggi on Monday, saw “discussions on the peace process [necessary] to resolve the conflict in Ukraine”, according to a statement from Sugiono’s office in Jakarta on Tuesday.
The statement did not specifically mention the Peace Formula first proposed in late 2022 by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Sybiha, meanwhile, said on X on Tuesday that he was “pleased to meet with Minister Sugiono and thank Indonesia for supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the Peace Formula”.
The 10-point peace plan includes a call for the restoration of Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders, the withdrawal of all Russian troops from its territory and the establishment of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian war crimes. Moscow has rejected the plan.
Before the war, about a quarter of Indonesia's imported wheat came from Ukraine, while the war has also driven up the prices of raw materials for fertilizer.
Earlier this year in June, President Prabowo Subianto, in his capacity as then-defense minister, met with Zelensky at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore to discuss the implementation of Ukraine’s peace plan.
