Top diplomats from the world's major industrialized democracies on Friday rallied support for Ukraine in its resistance to Russia's invasion and coalesced around suspicion of China's increasing assertiveness amid a panoply of global crises.
Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven nations, wrapping up two days of talks in the historic western German city of Muenster, were set to release a statement asserting common positions on Ukraine, Russia, China and recent developments in Iran and North Korea, officials said.
One senior U.S. official said the group of advanced economies had demonstrated "remarkable" unity on virtually all major issues despite often competing domestic interests and priorities, particularly in regards to China's growing economic clout and global ambitions. In Germany, many have noted the historic significance of the venue where the G7 ministers were meeting: the room where the Treaty of Westphalia ending Europe's bloody 30 Years War was signed in 1648.
