G7 foreign ministers gather in Germany to discuss how to better align policies on the intensifying Russian attacks on Ukraine, China's growing assertiveness and Iran's crackdown on protesters
The meeting in the western German city of Muenster comes as concerns persist over the West's consistency against Russia's attack against Ukraine amid leadership changes across Europe.
A possible US Republican victory to take control of Congress in next week's midterm elections also raises fears over potential curbs to US assistance to Ukraine. During the two-day meeting, the G7 diplomats will join sessions on Ukraine, China and the Indo-Pacific as well as Iran and Africa, among others.
Xi said in a speech at the opening of the congress that China would never renounce the use of force to ensure unification with the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which it claims as a sovereign territory.
