Dalai Lama holds first formal talks with a Canadian PM
0 Comments | AFP, October, 2007
OTTAWA (AFP) — Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Monday held formal talks with the Dalai Lama, becoming the first Canadian leader to ignore China's warnings not to host the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.
"It was clearly an historic meeting," said Jason Kenney, secretary of state for multiculturalism.
"I hope that the entire world gets the message that attacking a 72-year-old pacifist Buddhist monk who advocates nothing more than cultural autonomy for his people is counterproductive."
The two leaders met in Harper's office for about 40 minutes and had "a very full and frank exchange of views," Kenney told AFP.
They discussed human rights, Tibet's history and the plight of its people, he said.
The Dalai Lama also thanked the prime minister for...
