The Tibetan spiritual leader says the peace prize is the international community's recognition of increasing voices within China for reform.
The exiled Dalai Lama also urged China's government in a statement Friday to free others "imprisoned for exercising their freedom of expression."
Liu was sentenced last year to 11 years in prison on subversion charges after he co-authored a document calling for greater freedom, among other activism. He is the first mainland Chinese ever to win a Noble prize.
The Dalai Lama was awarded the 1989 peace prize.
