The Group of 20 Leaders' Summit drew to a close in Bali on Wednesday with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo thanking leaders of major economies for producing a joint declaration, a feat initially doubted by many amid deep rifts over the war in Ukraine.

“I extend my highest appreciation to all present who provided the flexibility for the declaration to be agreed upon and ratified,” Jokowi said in his closing speech to G20 leaders, noting that the document was the first of its kind since February this year.

“It was an honor for Indonesia to lead the G20 over the past year.”
