Foreign ministers from

the G7 nations called China's recent military drills around

Taiwan provocative and destabilizing while urging dialogue for

"peaceful resolution of issues."



"These increasingly frequent and destabilizing activities

are raising cross-Strait tensions and put at risk global

security and prosperity," the top diplomats said in a joint

statement on Sunday.



"G7 members continue to encourage the peaceful resolution of

issues through constructive cross-Strait dialogue."



Last week, China's military concluded two-day war games

around Taiwan in which it held long-range, live-fire drills in

the East China Sea, marking an escalation of exercises around

the island.
