My meeting with the Dalai Lama

On my trip to India with Speaker Pelosi, I met with the Dalai Lama. The trip had been planned well in advance but the meeting took on added significance because of the recent violent crackdown by the Chinese government against Tibetan protesters inside China. It is my hope that our visit will help draw additional attention and support to the effort by the Tibetan people to live in peace and freedom in their own country.
