as host Indonesia tries to ensure frictions over the war in Ukraine do not blow discussions off course.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine overshadowed a meeting of foreign ministers from the G-20 major economies last week, as Russia's top diplomat walked out of a meeting andIndonesia hopes to issue a communique when talks wrap up on Saturday though its central bank governor said the meeting would be summarised in a chairman's statement if that is not feasible.

"I don't want to speculate, we are still trying very hard to reach a communique," he said in an interview last week. At the last G-20 finance leaders' meeting in Washington in April, no communique was issued and officials from some Western nations left the room when it was the turn of the Russian representative to speak.

Indonesia's G-20 deputy for finance, Mr Wempi Saputra, said the group will try to come up with actions to help poor countries tackle a looming food crisis, by ensuring supply and affordability of food and fertilisers.
