Widodo is hosting the G20 Summit on the island of Bali on November 15-16. In the video message, he said peace diplomacy was the top priority. “The war must end,” demanded Widodo. Reconstruction and restoration of Ukraine’s economic strength are impossible if the war does not end. The interests of the Ukrainian people come first. Widodo reiterated urgently: “Peace must be our priority in the next steps we take.” He hopes that the reconstruction conference in Berlin will help to bridge different views.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) assured at the end of the conferenceeven after the German presidency of the G7 group of economically strong democracies at the end of the year, Germany will continue to play an important role when it comes to to support Ukraine in the best possible way. “We will stand by Ukraine as long as it is necessary and support her as one,” he said. In view of the recent Russian attacks, the reconstruction of a peaceful and prosperous Ukraine is more than ever a common goal. All would emerge stronger from the rebuild.
