The Chinese goverment is expressing its official opposition to reports US President Barack Obama is planning to meet with the Dalai Lama at a "prayer breakfast" on Thursday.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei.

"China opposes the government of any country interfering with China's internal affairs, and using the Tibetan issue as an excuse. China opposes any country leader meeting the Dalai Lama in any manner. China hopes that the U.S. side will, in regards to the Tibetan issue, scrupulously abide by its commitment, look at the big picture of relationship between the two countries, and solve the relevant issue appropriately."

The White House has not confirmed whether a meeting between the two will take place.

Obama has already met the Dalai Lama three times since taking office.

Each occasion has created a diplomatic incident between China and the United States.
