THE Rishi Sunakone of the two candidates to replace Boris Johnson as Britain’s prime minister, has called on the G20 to exclude Russian President Vladimir Putin from its meetings until Moscow ends its war in Ukraine, his spokesman said today.
Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will attend the G20 summit in Bali in November, an adviser to Indonesian President Joko Widodo said earlier today.

Polls show Sunak trailing Foreign Secretary Liz Truss in the race to lead the Conservative Party and become Britain’s prime minister, which ends on September 5. The Tras camp has not yet responded to a request for comment.
