G-20: Russian foreign minister had to be taken to hospital on arrival in Bali. News from Moscow

Top world leaders are arriving to attend the G-20 conference. Meanwhile, the Foreign Minister of Russia had also reached the conference. As soon as he reached the airport, his health deteriorated, and had to be taken to the hospital. According to Indonesian officials, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov is being treated in the hospital. Lavrov had arrived to attend the G-20 summit on behalf of President Vladimir Putin. Putin has refused to participate in the conference this time.

Lavrov is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital in Bali. Not much information is available about his health. However, Russia has denied that the foreign minister had to be taken to the hospital. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said it was only a rumor. Lavrov is healthy.

At the same time, the governor of Bali said that Lavrov had gone to the hospital for a medical checkup. The two-day G20 summit in Bali will begin on Tuesday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also reach out to take part in it. Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden have arrived in Indonesia. Both of them also held bilateral talks. Significantly, tensions continue between the US and China over Taiwan. The tension became more severe after the visit of Nancy Pelosi. Now it remains to be seen how much the relationship improves after the meeting of the two heads of state.

While talking about Vladimir Putin, it was said in the reports that he is not joining the G-20 because of Joe Biden. Had President Putin attended the summit, it would have been the first time since the start of the Ukraine war that the two leaders would be on the same stage. Putin wanted to avoid this. At the same time, America and Western countries had also made a plan to condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine. To avoid all this, Putin avoided this conference.
