China issued a formal protest to India after Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended birthday greetings to the Dalai Lama and Indian officials participated in celebrations for the Tibetan spiritual leader's 90th birthday.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry stressed the importance of India understanding Beijing's sensitivities regarding Tibet, commonly referred to as Xizang by China, and urged New Delhi to respect commitments made between the two nations.
In response, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the Dalai Lama's contributions as a symbol of compassion, while Chinese officials reiterated the need for India to recognize the Dalai Lama's role in what they describe as anti-China separatist activities.
