Beijing, May 24: China on Saturday voiced its "strong discontent" over the
meeting between British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Tibetan spiritual leader
the Dalai Lama, saying it was an interference in its internal affairs and it
gravely hurt the feelings of Chinese.
"The British side, regardless of China’s serious concern, allowed the Dalai
Lama to visit Britain, meet Mr Brown and other political figures and testify
before a British parliamentary hearing on China’s human rights," foreign
ministry spokesman Qin Gang said. (PTI)
