After G-20 summit, Jokowi should shift focus to Myanmar: Jakarta Post contributor

Following the G-20 summit, Jokowi's next diplomatic mission is to assume the chairmanship of Asean, taking over from Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.

JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network):- The upcoming Group of 20 (G-20) Summit, which will be held in Bali in early November, has been sapping the energy and attention of President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, especially after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in February, which has directly impacted the course of the gathering.

The daunting challenge facing Indonesia's G-20 presidency has apparently forced Jokowi to temporarily set aside the Myanmar cause. Jokowi had been seeking to marshal Asean support to put pressure on the military junta to end its barbaric acts against civilians and the infant democracy in the country.
