第47屆七大工業國集團(G7)領袖峰會於6月13日晚間在英國康瓦爾(Cornwall)圓滿落幕,會後並發布聯合公報,首度強調維護臺海和平與穩定的重要性,並鼓勵以和平方式解決兩岸議題。這是G7前身G6自1975年成立以來,46年來首度在峰會聯合公報中納入友臺文字。
蔡英文總統表示,這是世界上主要民主國家再次表達對印太區域和平穩定的關注,並感謝G7成員國及歐盟領袖對臺灣的堅定支持。外交部對G7各國元首及歐盟領袖,以具體行動展現對臺海和平與穩定的重視,表示高度歡迎與誠摯感謝。
這次G7峰會公報是繼今年4月美日元首峰會、5月美韓元首峰會、歐日領袖峰會、G7外長會議,以及6月日澳2+2會談後,G7各國元首及歐盟領袖再度重申對臺海和平與穩定的重視,凸顯維持臺海和平與穩定已取得美、日、英、法、德、義、加及歐盟等世界主要民主國家元首及領導階層的高度共識,也代表臺海和平與穩定是打造「自由與開放的印太地區」不可或缺的關鍵一環。
President of the ROC (Taiwan) Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) thanked G7 member states for their "resolute support," and that given the international attention, Taiwan will try its best to overcome the trials brought by the current COVID-19 outbreak. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed appreciation to the G7 leaders for clearly stating the importance of cross-strait peace and stability and noted that it was the first time the summit had included a statement of support for Taiwan in its communiqué.
The communiqué, issued after the three-day G7 summit in the United Kingdom on June 13, said "we underscore the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and encourage the peaceful resolution of cross-Strait issues."
It was the first time the meeting mentioned Taiwan Strait issues in its communiqué since the G7's predecessor, the G6, was formed in 1975. This was another example in which the world's major democracies showed concern for the situation in the Taiwan Strait, following similar statements issued after the U.S.-Japan Summit, U.S.-Korea Summit, EU-Japan Summit and Japan-Australia 2+2 Consultations earlier this year.
