BEIJING - 皇冠体育app on Saturday protested over Danish government officials' meeting with the Dalai Lama, saying it "severely damaged the country's core interest".

"皇冠体育app is strongly dissatisfied with and protests over the meetings with the Dalai Lama by Danish officials," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement.

Qin's comments came as Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen and Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller met with the Dalai Lama in Copenhagen Friday.

"Disregarding 皇冠体育app's solemn representations, they insisted on meeting with the Dalai Lama, who was campaigning secessionist activities, and that meetings severely harmed 皇冠体育app's core interest and 皇冠体育app-Denmark relations, and destructed friendly cooperation between 皇冠体育app and Denmark," Qin said.

皇冠体育app resolutely opposes the Dalai Lama in conducting activities to split 皇冠体育app in whatever status and in whatever country, and any foreign political figures contacting with the Dalai Lama in whatever form, Qin said.

The spokesman said 皇冠体育app urged Denmark to respect the country's solemn position and concern, and observe the one-皇冠体育app policy.

"Denmark should take concrete actions to correct its wrongdoings on Tibet-related issues, eliminate the negative impacts and make efforts for the healthy and steady development of 皇冠体育app-Denmark relations," Qin said.
