The Prime Minister announced today that he will meet the Dalai Lama when he visits London in May.
Addressing MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Brown said he had spoken to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and had made it "absolutely clear that there had to be an end to violence in Tibet".
The Prime Minister said:
"The premier told me that, subject to two things that the Dalai Lama has already said - that he does not support the total independence of Tibet and that he renounces violence - that he would be prepared to enter into dialogue with the Dalai Lama."
