AUSTRALIAN PM WILL CONSIDER MEETING DALAI LAMA

Published by: World Tibet Network News,Saturday, August 17th, 1996

ADELAIDE, Australia, Aug 17 (Reuter) - Australian Prime Minister John Howard said on Saturday he would consider meeting the Dalai Lama next month during a visit to Australia by the exiled Tibetan leader -- a move likely to anger China.

Howard said he recognised the Dalai Lama as "a very significant" Tibetan spiritual leader and stressed that such a meeting would be consistent with Australia's one-China policy.

Beijing views the Dalai Lama as leader of a pro-independence cause in the Himalayan region.

"There is nothing inconsistent in having a one-China policy and meeting the Dalai Lama as the spiritual leader of his people," Howard told a conservative party conference here.

The Chinese government routinely objects to foreign government officials meeting the Dalai Lama, who has campaigned peacefully for regional autonomy for Tibet.

Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer is to visit China next week, at a time when relations with Beijing have chilled over a range of diplomatic and security issues.

Australia said on Friday it was considering selling uranium to Taiwan, which diplomats said could strain ties already frayed over the axing of an aid scheme, plans for an official visit to Taiwan, a security pact between Canberra and Washington, and the Dalai Lama's visit.

The Dalai Lama is scheduled to meet Downer during his visit to Australia.

Asked by a delegate at the conference if he too would meet with the Dalai Lama, Howard said: "My position on that is if I did receive a request, I would consider such a meeting."

"If I did have such a meeting, it would be on the basis...(of him being) the spiritual leader of his people, of which he is a very significant one," he added.

Howard said he might be on an overseas trip to Japan and Indonesia when the Dalai Lama was in Australia. If not, he added, meeting the Dalai Lama would be "an utterly sensible, consistent thing to do."

"But it should be understood by everybody as to the basis on which such a meeting would take place," he said.
