[ワシントン １２日 ロイター] – It turned out that the seven major countries (G7) are coordinating to include concerns regarding China’s “economic coercion” in a joint statement at the summit meeting (G7 Hiroshima Summit) to be held in Hiroshima from 19th. A U.S. official familiar with the debate said.
The joint statement is expected to have a “China-specific section” listing concerns, including “historical economic coercion and other behavior,” the people said.
“We will address countermeasures in a separate statement on economic security,” the person said. Both statements may go further than past G7 statements.
While Trump’s G7 statement only broadly addressed issues related to China, the Biden administration is seeking a more direct statement.
The G7 will also discuss similar issues at its foreign ministers’ meeting in April. China denounced the joint statement as “arrogant and prejudiced,” and protested to Japan as the chair country.
At the Hiroshima summit, the leaders of the seven countries are also expected to mention strengthening cooperation with China on areas such as climate change.
The specific wording of the joint statement will be decided through diplomatic adjustments and revisions.
