BALI (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo urged countries of the Group of 20 (G20) to set aside their differences and continue working toward a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine, as the lives of billions could be on the line if the conflict persisted and disrupted the supply of basic foodstuff.

He also called on the forum's foreign ministers - who are scheduled to meet later this week in Bali - to work out a solution that could help ease access to food for millions who are currently facing a shortage of grain and cereals as a result of Russia's ongoing invasion of the European country.
