【6名前外相怂恿约翰逊：把香港议题塞进G7峰会】G7峰会下周将于英国康沃尔郡举行。6位前外相于3日联名发公开信给英国首相约翰逊，极力怂恿约翰逊利用好英国作为轮值主席国的优势，在下周举行的七国集团峰会上将香港议题塞进峰会议程。有知情人士分析称，七国峰会届时很可能会讨论中国议题，但实际能做的很有限。

联名的6位前外相包括4名工党外相大卫·欧文（David Owen）、玛格丽特·贝克特（Margaret Beckett）、杰克·斯特劳（Jack Straw）、戴维·米利班德（David Miliband），以及两名保守党外相马尔科姆·里夫金德（Malcolm Rifkind）、威廉·黑格（William Hague）。

他们在信的最后鼓动称：“鉴于香港近期的局势，我们希望您能够承认（香港问题）显然需要来自英国政府的国际领导。”
