China expressed "strong dissatisfaction" this Saturday after the publication of a G7 communiqué addressing several grievances on the South China Sea, human rights and alleged interference. "This approach does not have the slightest international credibility," a Chinese spokesman said.
A summit of the leaders of the seven main industrialized democracies has been held since Friday in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The G7 also urges Beijing, Moscow's close economic and diplomatic partner which has so far maintained a position of neutrality, to "put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression"
