Indonesian president JokoWidodo has said China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin both plan to attend the Group of 20 summit in Bali in November. He said both the leaders have confirmed their visit.
This is the first confirmation that both leaders will attend the summit. It will be the first global summit since Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the heightened tensions over Taiwan.
It would also be the first time Mr. Xi has left China since January 2020 when the country shut its borders at the start of the Covid pandemic. Since then, he only left the mainland to mark the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China on July 1 this year.
The November summit will be much-awaited given that US President Joe Biden is also expected to attend. However, it's not clear if he will meet Mr. Putin.
