"Step Too Far": Australian PM On Putin Sitting With World Leaders At G-20
Allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin to sit with other world leaders at this year's G20 summit would be "a step too far", Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Thursday.

New Delhi, 24 March 2022

As per news report of NDTV, Putin has already been invited to the G20 heads of state summit in November by this year's host Jakarta, and he intends to be there, Russia's ambassador to Indonesia said this week. But Morrison objected, citing Russia's war in neighbouring Ukraine. "I think we need to have people in the room that aren't invading other countries," he said. The prime minister said he had been in "direct contact" with Indonesian President Joko Widodo about Putin's attendance at the Group of 20, which brings together the world's top economies, including the United States, China, Japan and some European nations. "Russia has invaded Ukraine. This is a violent and aggressive act that shatters the international rule of law," Morrison told a news conference in Melbourne.
