Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen thanked the Group of Seven (G7) nations on Thursday for supporting regional peace and stability after the group called on China to resolve tensions in the Taiwan Strait in a peaceful manner.

Tsai, in a Twitter post, also wrote: "Taiwan is committed to defending the status quo & our hard-earned democracy.

"We'll work with like-minded partners to maintain a free & open Indo-Pacific."
