New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy might be coming face to face for the first time ever since the war between the two nations broke out.

The Group of Twenty (G20) will meet for the seventeenth time during the Bali summit in 2022, which is planned to take place in Indonesia.
On December 1, 2021, Indonesia assumed the chairmanship, which lasted through the summit in the fourth quarter of 2022. At the conclusion of the Rome summit, the G20 Presidency Gavel was handed over in a private ceremony. It went from Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi to President Joko Widodo of Indonesia.
Goals of G20 Summit in Bali
The 2022 G20 Bali Summit aims to:
- Promote national economic resilience and efforts for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Promote Indonesia’s achievements in reformation and democracy;
- Promote Indonesia’s leadership and commitment towards global issues;
- Promote culture, tourism and creative industries;
- Optimize other national interests.
As part of a comprehensive plan to aid in global recovery, Indonesia’s G20 Presidency has identified three key issues: global health architecture, digital economy transformation, and energy transition. G20 Indonesia will take advantage of this momentum to create an inclusive and sustainable development while looking at new ways to make the G20 more resilient to future crises.
