Dalai Lama In Mongolia

Mongolia's foreign minister says the Dalai Lama will no longer be allowed to visit his country after a visit by the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader prompted protests from China and a suspension of talks on a major loan.

Describing India's $1 billion aid to Mongolia as a "bribe", China's official media today said that there may be "endless trouble" in Sino-India ties if New Delhi viewed China's cargo service with Nepal as a threat to the sale of Indian goods.

The Dalai Lama preached to thousands of Buddhists in Mongolia despite demands from China that the visit by the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader be scrapped, at a time Mongolia seeks a critical aid package from its powerful neighbour.

The Dalai Lama met with Buddhist worshippers on Saturday during a four-day visit to Mongolia, despite Beijing's strident demand that he be barred from entering the country.
