Dalai Lama praises Obama on Tibet

[Louisiana1976]

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Saturday praised US President Barack Obama for taking up the issue of Tibet "very seriously" with Chinese leaders on his recent trip to China.

During a meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao last Tuesday, Obama discussed the thorny issue of Tibet and urged early resumption of talks between China and representatives of the Dalai Lama over the region's future.

"He, actually publicly as well as behind the scenes, has really taken up the issue of Tibet with Chinese leaders very seriously," the Dalai Lama told reporters in the Indian capital.

The Dalai Lama has been living in India since he fled Tibet following a failed uprising in 1959 against Chinese rule.
