In Bali, Biden will commend President Widodo's leadership of the G20 and highlight the US commitment to this premier forum for economic cooperation with countries representing more than 80 per cent of the world's GDP.

He will work with G20 partners to address key challenges such as climate change, the global impact of Putin's war on Ukraine, including on energy and food security and affordability, and a range of other priorities important to the global economic recovery, it said.

The G20 Leaders' Summit will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
