COPENHAGEN (AFP) — The Dalai Lama kicked off a European tour in Denmark today meeting Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen for what he called a "mainly spiritual and educational" visit.On leaving the Danish premier's official residence north of Copenhagen, the Tibetan spiritual leader, who travelled from exile in India, said the 45-minute encounter was not political.
The meeting came despite China warning European nations against welcoming the Dalai Lama. China accuses him of wanting to establish an independent Tibet, despite years of public statements by the Buddhist leader denying the charge. France and Poland will also welcome the Dalai Lama over the next few weeks. Source
