US Ambassador in India Visits Dalai Lama
The US Ambassador to India, David Mulford, has made his first visit to the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala as part of America’s periodic contacts with the Tibetan government in exile, according to Voice of America (VOA). The Cabinet Secretary for Tibet's exile government, Migyur Dorjee, told VOA that the visit is a morale booster for Tibetan officials in India. "Any ambassador coming over to Dharamsala to call on His Holiness, the Dalai Lama and his Cabinet here, besides seeing the Tibetan institutions and others established over here, itself is significant in a way that they're giving importance to the Tibetan issue", said Dorjee. Mulford held talks for more than an hour with the Dalai Lama, but neither the American Embassy nor Tibetan officials would comment on the substance of their discussion.
