Dalai Lama praises New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden for her compassionate handling of a recent attack on two mosques by a gunman that left 50 Muslim worshippers dead.
NEW DELHI — The Dalai Lama on Thursday praised New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden for her compassionate handling of a recent attack on two mosques by a gunman that left 50 Muslim worshippers dead in Christchurch.“I really admire the New Zealand prime minister. She is wonderful,’” he told reporters in the Indian capital, where he addressed a conference of educators and students.“She really tried to tackle this problem through nonviolence, through compassion and through mutual respect.
Many Tibetans insist they were essentially independent for most of that time and have protested what they regard as China’s heavy-handed rule imposed after the People’s Liberation Army’s battled its way into the Himalayan region in 1950. The Dalai Lama said he developed direct contact with the Chinese leadership in 1979, but little progress has been made since because China still thinks he is seeking independence for the region.
