President Joko Widodo said that it was not the time to create new tensions.

He said rivalries have disrupted the global economic recovery.

Tensions in Ukraine, he said, endangered the safety of the whole world.

The G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting is being held largely online.

Indonesia's president told them the world’s priority should be collaborating and tackling the challenges that the pandemic had brought such as disruption to food security and supply chains.
