BEIJING (Sputnik) — China has lodged a diplomatic representation with the United States over the upcoming meeting between US President Barack Obama and Dalai Lama, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.
"We have already made a representation with the US side at the US Embassy in China," Lu Kang told reporters.
Earlier, the White House announced that Obama would hold a closed for media meeting with Dalai Lama on Wednesday.
Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama XIV of Tibet, exiled to India, of attempts to achieve separation from China, and urges foreign leaders to respect the territorial integrity of China and not to meet with the Buddhist leader.
