Lavrov 'in good health' after hospital checks on G20 summit eve

Jakarta (AFP) Nov 14, 2022

Sergey Lavrov taking a break from Russia's war against Western depravity by slipping on a Basquiat t-shirt is perfect. Basquiat was a queer, anti-colonial Black artist. Just the sort of guy who'd love Sergey's war.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is in good health after two health checks at a hospital in Bali, an Indonesian health ministry official said Monday, as Moscow denied the top diplomat had been hospitalised.

Russia called reports Lavrov had been hospitalised "the highest level of fake" and Moscow's foreign ministry spokeswoman posted a video of the 72-year-old diplomat in a T-shirt and shorts.

An Indonesian official told AFP said Lavrov had been taken to hospital two days in a row after arriving on the resort island of Bali on Sunday, where he is replacing President Vladimir Putin as the head of Moscow's delegation.

"He (Lavrov) is in good health, he came to the hospital yesterday after he arrived in Bali, only to get his health checked," said health ministry official Sunarto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name.

"Earlier (Monday), he came again to the hospital only for another health check and thank God he is healthy," he told AFP.

A spokesperson for Sanglah hospital in Bali's Denpasar city said a delegation had arrived at the hospital under tight security but that they were not authorised to disclose the identity or the condition of the individual involved.

Indonesia's foreign ministry referred all questions to the Russian embassy in Jakarta, which did not respond to a request for comment.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova slammed speculation around the health of Moscow's top diplomat and showed herself laughing with Lavrov in a video.

"We're here with Sergei Viktorovich (Lavrov) in Indonesia, reading the wires and we can't believe our eyes," Zakharova said.

"It's the highest level of fake."

Lavrov claimed the reports were part of "some kind of game" that he blamed on Western media.

"They've been writing for about 10 years that our president is sick," he said.

Lavrov will represent Russia at the two-day summit of the world's 20 biggest economies, which starts Tuesday, with Moscow's invasion of Ukraine likely to dominate the agenda.

In July, Lavrov stormed out of a foreign ministers' meeting after the majority of those in attendance roundly condemned Russia's assault on its neighbour.

Biden and Xi to meet at G20 summit
Beijing (AFP) Nov 11, 2022
Xi Jinping and Joe Biden will hold talks at next week's G20 summit in Bali, their first face-to-face meeting since the US president took office and just weeks after the Chinese leader secured a landmark third term. The leaders of the world's two biggest economies have spoken by phone multiple times since Biden became president in January 2021. But the Covid-19 pandemic and Xi's subsequent aversion to foreign travel have prevented them from meeting in person. Beijing's foreign ministry said Frida ... read more
