Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is giving a statement on the G20 summit he attended in Indonesia.
He starts by addressing the missile strikes in Ukraine carried out by Russia as the summit took place.
He says that “no blame” can be placed on Ukraine if the missile which landed in Poland and killed two people was fired by them in self-defence – the PM says blame lies solely with the Russians for launching the attack.
Mr Sunak says the Bali summit “took place amidst the worst global economic crisis since 2008”.
He notes, however, that this time the headwinds were caused by a G20 member – Russia – “turning off the gas taps and choking off the Ukrainian grain supply”.
The prime minister then runs through what he did at the G20 summit, talking about leaders he met and pledges he made.
He said the UK “committed to maintain free markets, free trade, and to reform World Trade Organisation”.
And he added, on his meetings with other world leaders: “In each of these discussions, there was a shared determination to restore stability, deliver long-term growth and drive a better future – one where no single country has the power to hold us back.
“In just a few moments, my right honourable friend, the chancellor, will build on these international foundations when he sets out the autumn statement, putting our economy back onto a positive trajectory and restoring our fiscal sustainability.”
