TOKYO - Japan hopes to draft a joint statement on China's new security legislation on Hong Kong at the next Group of Seven foreign ministers' meeting, a Japanese government source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday .
"Hong Kong is an extremely important partner in terms of both tight economic ties and human relations, and it is important that the original system of 'one nation, two systems' be upheld and things proceed stably and democratically," he said in parliament. Tokyo is in a sensitive situation regarding the US-China tension over Hong Kong as it plans for a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, originally set for April but postponed over the coronavirus.
"Japan took the position to do what it has to do independently, in this case because of, first, time constraints, and secondly, our basic position is that we emphasise our efforts in the G-7," the source told Reuters.
