Global leaders are debating topics like debt relief and food security at the G20 summit, which has begun on the Indonesian island of Bali.
Here’s what’s happened so far:
- Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky made a virtual appearance at the summit, where he called for Russia’s “destructive war” to end
- Similarly, UK PM Rishi Sunak criticised the “Putin regime”, saying it had “stifled domestic dissent and fabricated a veneer of validity only through violence”
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was in the room listening to Sunak’s comments – Vladimir Putin has decided not to attend.
- Sunak also said he believed China posed a “systematic challenge” to the UK’s values, but did not clarify if he would commit – like his predecessor Liz Truss – to recategorising China as a “threat” to national security
- About an hour ago, the leaders took a break from the summit to head for lunch at the luxury Apurva Kempinski hotel – with some of them being driven to the venue by Indonesian President Joko Widodo himself
