“Thank you for your continued partnership in addressing global and regional challenges. Cooperation between the United States and India is essential to our highest priorities and to creating a more peaceful and prosperous world,” she added.
On Sunday, the US Undersecretary of State met with the Dalai Lama. The meeting drew a sharp reaction from China.
In a statement, the Chinese embassy said, “Xizang (Tibet) affairs are purely China’s internal affairs and no outside forces have the right to interfere. China firmly opposes any form of contact between foreign officials and ‘Tibetan independence’ forces.”
