G7 leaders got 'serious concerns' about China's maritime activities. 9News
In a statement, the G7 leaders said they had "serious concerns" about China's maritime activities in the South China and East China seas and called for a "free and open Indo Pacific".
Albanese, who is attending the G7 summit as a guest, said leaders' statements about China were in tandem with Australia's stance. "We've expressed concern in the past, we'll continue to do so. What we need to do is to make sure that we work in a way that enhances the peace, security, and stability in the region.
On the margins of the summit, US President Joe Biden held talks with Albanese in lieu of the now-scrapped visit to Australia.
