CHINA-RUSSIA: CHINA BACKS RUSSIA'S STAY IN G-20
Reuters (March 23) reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to attend the next G20
summit in Indonesia later this year and received valuable backing from Beijing on March 23 as
it rejected suggestions by some members that Russia could be barred from the group.
(Comment: The United States and its Western allies are assessing whether Russia should
remain within the G-20 following its invasion of Ukraine. But any move to exclude Russia
would probably be vetoed by others in the group.)
