Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman: G7 members should stop interfering in other countries' internal affairs

Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the G7, a group of seven major countries, is "a major factor in the destabilization of the world." According to China Radio International, Spokesperson Wang said at a regular press conference on Friday the 10th, ``The G7 firmly opposes the wrong actions that undermine China's sovereignty and interfere in China's internal affairs.'' ``We firmly reject the G7's unreasonable accusations that China is distorting the world economy and engaging in economic blackmail. It is precisely the G7 member countries that are using full power to suppress specific companies, politicize and weaponize trade issues, and have a shock to the stability of international industrial and supply chains. I have to reflect on this," he said. The final statement of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting held in Tokyo on July 8th of this month stated that, regarding China, ``we will address the challenges posed by China's non-market policies and practices that distort the global economy.'' Spokesman Wang also stated, ``The G7 is inciting conflict and opposition by bringing up the South China Sea Arbitration Tribunal's so-called ruling, going against the wishes of regional countries to protect regional peace and stability.''

He added, ``I hope that the G7 countries will steadily promote the healthy development of bilateral relations with China based on mutual respect, equality, and mutual benefit.''In its final statement issued on the 8th, the G7 foreign ministers' meeting said that Iran " refrains from further actions that would destabilize the Middle East, including providing support to Hamas and supporting Hezbollah and other non-state actors in Lebanon. We urge them to use their influence against these groups to reduce tensions in the region ." Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Kyanani commented on the statement, saying, ``We strongly condemn the statement as groundless.'' "The presence of foreign forces is the biggest destabilizing factor in West Asia," Kyanani said, referring to the G7 statement's unfounded claims about Palestinian and Lebanese resistance groups and unrelated demands against Iran. "Since the beginning of the Gaza crisis, we have worked tirelessly to stop the attacks by the Zionist regime and to ensure the safety of Palestinian civilians."

He added, ``What is surprising is that the Zionist regime and its supporters are in a position to boldly assert that, and by deliberately confusing perpetrators and victims, Palestinian resistance and liberation forces are being labeled as extremists and regional allies.'' "This has been criticized as a destabilizing factor." ``The G7 foreign ministers' meeting was expected to fulfill its international responsibility by condemning the Zionist regime's violations of international law, end its support for war crimes and genocide, and call for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire.'' "The aim was to lift the blockade of Gaza and provide humanitarian aid." The G7 statement also notes other destabilizing developments in Iran, such as the development of its ballistic missile program, the transfer of missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and related technology to state and non-state actors, and the training and financing of non-state actors. ``Iran must stop supporting Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.'' Mr. Kyanani called these "groundless and worthless" and "politically motivated (of the G7 countries)," adding, "There is no place for nuclear weapons in Iran's military policy. Iran's nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes. ” .
