New Delhi: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday met Tibetan monk Geshe Dorji Damdul, who serves as a representative of the Tibetan government in exile and is close to the Dalai Lama, in a move that is likely to provoke China.
Blinken met the monk during an interaction with civil society representatives in New Delhi, a representative of the Tibetan government in exile said. The spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama and thousands of followers fled to India in 1959 after China cracked down on an uprising in March of that year. The government in exile, known as the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), and the Dalai Lama live in the Indian hill town of Dharamsala. (afp)
