Dalai Lama

China Dept: The 76-year-old Buddhist said little about what the two men talked about, but joked that nobody dominated the conversation, according to Globe and Mail. Mr. Harper irritated China when he met publicly in 2007 with the Dalai Lama, who China considers a dangerous separatist and the Dalai Lama was in Ottawa to attend a convention of world parliamentarians on Tibet. He also had a brief private meeting with Mr. Harper on Friday. When I open my mouth, usually it's a long sentence, he said with a laugh. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
