Beijing : China Sunday expressed strong indignation over French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s meeting with the Dalai Lama Saturday in Poland.
“The French side’s wrong action grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs and also severely hurt the feelings of the Chinese people,” said foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao in a press release.
Liu reaffirmed that China has always valued China-France ties.
He urged France to take China’s position and concerns into serious consideration, so as to ensure the steady and sound development of bilateral relations.
