Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was taken to hospital on Monday after arriving at the G20 summit of the world’s major economies, being held on the Indonesian island of Bali. But according to the governor of the island of Bali, it was only a tour and the head of Russian diplomacy was in good health. Information from the AP agency, according to which Sergei Lavrov was hospitalized with heart problems, was not confirmed.

The AP quoted an Indonesian official, who wished to remain anonymous, as confirming that Sergey Lavrov was in hospital due to health issues, according to the agency. The Russian Foreign Ministry immediately called the AP report disinformation. “This is, of course, the pinnacle of falsification,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marija Zakharova wrote in a telegram on social networks.

The Russian Foreign Ministry later released a video of Sergei Lavrov smiling and preparing for the summit. The TASS agency added that Minister Lavrov was in the hotel. Lavrov himself called the news that he was taken to the hospital a “political game.”

The Governor of Bali Island I, Wayan Koster, confirmed that the Russian Foreign Minister was taken to Sanglah Hospital for examination after arriving in Bali. The visit was very short and Sergey Lavrov left the hospital in good health, the governor added.

Indonesia invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit and refused to withdraw the invitation, despite calls from a number of Western countries to do so after the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. At the last minute, Russia announced that Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov would represent his country at the summit, not Putin.
