Foreign ministers of the Group of Seven leading industrial nations have reaffirmed their intention to cooperate on China-related issues.

The G7 meeting in London on Wednesday, held on the sidelines of a conference for Ukraine's recovery, follows a visit to Beijing by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Blinken held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other senior officials during his two-day visit, which ended on Monday.

Blinken briefed his G7 counterparts on what was discussed in the meetings. The ministers also expressed their views on the latest developments in China.

Japan's Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa, who chaired the talks, pointed to the importance of building constructive and stable relations with China through dialogue, while directly expressing the G7 ministers' concerns.

In a communique issued at May's G7 summit in Hiroshima, the G7 leaders said they strongly oppose any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion in the East and South China seas.

The communique also says they are prepared to cooperate with China to tackle global challenges.

The ministers agreed to keep working together in line with the communique.

Hayashi also noted that the two ballistic missiles North Korea launched last Thursday fell in Japan's exclusive economic zone, which he said cannot be tolerated.

He said he hopes to continue to deepen discussions on the security situation in the Indo-Pacific region within the G7 bloc.
