Japan to Attend G20 Meet, No Comment on Russia’s Participation: Finance Minister
Japan is preparing to attend a gathering of financial leaders from the Group of 20 economic powers next week, its finance minister said on Friday, as Western nations sought the expulsion of Russia from the forum and said they would skip sessions where Moscow is represented.
Shunichi Suzuki said Japan “is not in the position to respond to each country’s participation”, when asked about Russia‘s plans to join the forum online, which G20 chair Indonesia announced on Thursday.
