Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang's Regular Press Conference on November 23, 2016

Q: According to the Mongolian media, the Chinese side has indefinitely postponed an inter-governmental meeting and a meeting on mines and energy with the Mongolian side due to be held soon because Mongolia green lighted Dalai's visit. Can you confirm that? How do you comment on that?

A: We have expressed our solemn position on Dalai's visit to Mongolia. The erroneous action taken by the Mongolian side on Dalai's visit hurt the political foundation of China-Mongolia relations and exerted negative impact on the development of bilateral relations. The Chinese side requires the Mongolian side to genuinely respect China's core interests and major concerns, take effective means to remove the negative impact caused by its erroneous action, and bring China-Mongolia relations back to the track of sound and steady growth.
