Beijing, June 20 (RHC)-- China has warned the U.S. against interfering in its internal affairs, following a meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and Buddhist spiritual leader Dalai Lama.

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in a phone call on Saturday that Washington should refrain from interfering in China’s internal affairs on matters related to Tibet.

Kerry assured the Chinese Foreign Minister that there had been no change in U.S. foreign policy on Beijing, reaffirming that Tibet was part of China, according to an account of the call posted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry website.  Kerry then reiterated that Washington had no support for Tibet’s independence campaign from China.

The phone call by the Chinese foreign minister came after Obama met with Dalai Lama at the White House last week despite Beijing’s warning that the meeting would damage diplomatic relations.  Chinese Foreign Ministry said earlier it had conveyed its “firm opposition” to the meeting to the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
