G7 Foreign Ministers Unite Against Russian and Chinese Aggression.

The G7 foreign ministers condemned Russia's war on Ukraine and warned of "severe consequences" for the use of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. They also called on China to "abstain from threats" and expressed "serious concerns" about the situation in the East and South China Seas. The ministers reaffirmed the importance of "peace and stability" across the Taiwan Strait but also emphasized their support for the "one China policy." The communique was released as the foreign ministers wrapped up three days of talks in Japan.
