The US State Department has welcomed the head of the Tibetan government-in-exile - the first political head of the Tibetans in exile to be hosted there in 60 years.
The meeting between Lobsang Sangay, the president of the Central Tibetan Administration and the newly appointed US special envoy for Tibetan issues, Robert Destro, has angered China.
