The G7 foreign ministers have condemned the Belarusian authorities for organising irregular migration across the borders and expressed solidarity with Poland and other affected countries.
The G7 said in a joint statement on Thursday.
“We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union, condemn the Belarus regime’s orchestration of irregular migration across its borders.
“These callous acts are putting people’s lives at risk.
“We are united in our solidarity with Poland, as well as Lithuania and Latvia, who have been targeted by this provocative use of irregular migration as a hybrid tactic.’’
The G7 countries also said international organisations need to provide with immediate and unhindered access to deliver humanitarian assistance to migrants at the Belarusian-Polish border.
