CHINA The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, on Wednesday expressed his appreciation for the support given to him by Barack Obama, the US president, while in China, as members of the exiled government said they were hopeful that stalled talks with Beijing would resume soon.
Speaking in Rome at an international parliamentary conference on Tibet, the Dalai Lama said the Obama administration had been “very supportive”, as had the previous Bush and Clinton administrations. He noted the appointment by the White House of a special Tibet coordinator.
