“No words to describe thrill…” Ex-US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ahead of meeting with Dalai Lama

A seven-member US Congressional delegation, including former US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and led by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, arrived at the Dalai Lama Temple in Himachal Pradesh’s Dharamshala on Wednesday to meet the Tibetan spiritual leader.

The delegation arrived in India on Tuesday for a two-day visit, and was received by officials of the Central Tibetan Administration at Kangra Airport. Other members of the delegation include Congress members Mariannette Miller, Gregory Meeks, Nicole Malliotakis, Jim McGovern and Ami Bera.

The visit comes as US President Joe Biden is set to reportedly sign a legislation that aims to press China to resolve the Tibet dispute. Beijing has been critical of both moves, saying Tibet is an internal matter of China that brooks no interference by external forces, Reuters reported.
