JAKARTA, Nov 8 (dpa): Russia's Vladimir Putin is unlikely to travel to Bali to attend the G20 summit next week, an aide to the Indonesian president said on Tuesday, potentially resolving a diplomatic dilemma for the summit hosts.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo had invited Putin to the summit scheduled for November 15-16 in Bali, but the Kremlin has so far not confirmed the Russian leader's plans.
