China lodges representation with U.S. over planned Obama-Dalai Lama meeting

Xinhua, June 15, 2016 Adjust font size:

China has lodged diplomatic representations with the United States over a planned meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama at the White House on Wednesday, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.

It is reported that Obama and the Dalai Lama will meet privately in the Map Room at 10:15 a.m.on Wednesday.

"Chinese Foreign Ministry has already made a representation to the U.S. Embassy in China," spokesperson Lu Kang told a daily news briefing.

If the U.S. side arranges such a meeting, it will send a wrong signal to Tibet separatist forces and harm China-U.S. mutual trust and cooperation, Lu said. Endit
