G7 foreign ministers raise concerns over China's recent military drills around Taiwan

G7 foreign ministers have raised concerns over China's recent military drills around Taiwan.

In a joint statement released by the top envoys, they described Beijing's recent military drills as provocative and destabilizing and called for dialogue for a "peaceful resolution of issues."

The foreign ministers said the "increasingly frequent" activities are raising cross-Strait tensions," adding that they are also putting "global security and prosperity" at risk.

Last week, the Chinese military concluded two days of war games around Taiwan, involving long-range, live-fire drills.
