G7 foreign ministers arrived in Karuizawa, a small Japanese mountain resort, on Sunday to discuss China's mounting pressure on Taiwan and the conflict in Ukraine. Discussions are also expected to focus on a global infrastructure investment plan for the Global South.
The talks will focus on "ensuring how we can continue to be fully aligned with a concerted and common approach" to Beijing, a senior US State Department official told reporters. The G7 has regularly warned Beijing against attempting to change the status quo on Taiwan by force.
