(CNN) -- President Barack Obama met with the Dalai Lama on Saturday,
commending the Tibetan spiritual leader on his commitment to nonviolence and
pursuit of the "Middle Way" approach with China, the White House said in a
statement.
During the closed-door visit at the White House, Obama stressed the U.S.
policy that "Tibet is a part of the People's Republic of China and the
United States does not support independence for Tibet," the White House said.
In the nearly 45-minute meeting, the president voiced support for "direct
dialogue" between China and Tibet as a way to peace, the statement said.
"The Dalai Lama stated that he is not seeking independence for Tibet and
hopes that dialogue between his representatives and the Chinese government
can soon resume," the White House said.
American support of the Dalai Lama has long been a subject of contention in
U.S.-China relations. Chinese officials view the religious leader as a
separatist and Tibet as a breakaway province.
The issue of Tibet is one that "involves China's sovereignty and territorial
integrity," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hong Lei said in a statement
released before the meeting. "We oppose foreign leaders meeting with the
Dalai Lama in any format."
Along with asking Obama not to meet with the exiled spiritual leader, the
foreign ministry statement went on to warn the president to "stop
interfering with China's internal affairs and damaging Sino-U.S. relations."
The president last met with his fellow Nobel Peace laureate in February 2010
