JAKARTA — Seventeen leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) members have confirmed their attendance at the summit to be held in Indonesia's Bali on Nov 15-16, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah said on Thursday.
The G20 leaders are scheduled to arrive in Bali starting Nov. 13 and will leave the resort island on Nov. 16 afternoon or Nov. 17, said Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi
Faizasyah was reluctant to name the other three leaders who have not declared their presence for security reasons.
"This is related to security aspects and other things that need to be taken care of before the event," Faizasyah told a virtual press conference.
