G7 Ministers Condemn China's Military Drills Around Taiwan

The G7 Foreign Ministers, along with the High Representative of the European Union, expressed serious concern regarding China's recent large-scale military drills around Taiwan, labeling them as provocative and destabilizing. In a joint statement, they warned that such actions are escalating tensions across the Taiwan Strait and pose risks to global security and prosperity. The ministers reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace in the region and opposed any unilateral attempts to alter the status quo through force or coercion. They emphasized the need for constructive dialogue to peacefully resolve issues, reflecting increased international focus on regional security amid heightened military activities. This intervention comes as the US and EU recently reiterated their disapproval of any unilateral changes in the Taiwan Strait's status quo following China's military exercises. The G7's stance highlights the growing concern among Western powers regarding China's military assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region.
