Hong Kong (CNN) A top Chinese Foreign Ministry official said Beijing would "not allow" the Hong Kong protests to be brought up at the G20 meeting in Osaka beginning on Thursday.

Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhang Jun told a press briefing Monday that the G20 usually discusses global trade and economic issues and wouldn't focus on the week-long protests in Hong Kong.

"We will not allow Hong Kong issues to be discussed at the G20 summit," Zhang said. "Hong Kong affairs are Chinese domestic affairs, any foreign force has no right to interfere in this."

The Foreign Ministry officially announced on Sunday that Chinese President Xi Jinping would be attending the G20 summit in Osaka between June 27 to 29, his first trip to Japan as leader.

During his visit, Xi is expected to meet with United States President Donald Trump for talks aimed at restarting trade deal negotiations between the two countries.
