President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said he will contact the three leaders directly to request a confirmation of their attendance at the G20 Summit.
"There are three leaders who have not confirmed their attendance. I will call later to confirm it," he stated.
He observed that the attendance of G20 leaders at the upcoming summit will be quite high. He said that based on preliminary data, 17 to 18 leaders have confirmed their attendance at the summit.
This is an honor for Indonesia as there are around 17–18 state leaders who will make sure to attend the meeting, he remarked.
"It is a large number; in a difficult situation, they come here. It is an honor for us," he said.
