WASHINGTON – Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G-7) nations called China’s recent military drills around Taiwan provocative and destabilising while urging dialogue for “peaceful resolution of issues”.
“These increasingly frequent and destabilising activities are raising cross-Strait tensions and put at risk global security and prosperity,” the top diplomats said in a joint statement on April 6.
“G-7 members continue to encourage the peaceful resolution of issues through constructive cross-Strait dialogue.”
Last week, the Chinese military concluded two days of war games
