"My meeting with the Secretary (Powell), as well as the president, was very useful. I think besides the sort of serious discussion, but as a human sort of level, very beautiful. As I said yesterday, I feel almost like reunion, with some old friend. I'm very happy, very satisfied."

STORYLINE:

The Dalai Lama continued his visit to Washington on Wednesday, meeting briefly at the White House with President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell.

The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, who has campaigned for the cause of a free Tibet since fleeing his land for India in 1959 after a failed revolt against Chinese rule, is on his first tour of the United States in more than two years.

Afterwards, the Dalai Lama said that Bush showed a "a genuine interest and a genuine sympathy" to his cause, adding that he was sure the administration would be of help.

The Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for nonviolent resistance to the Chinese occupation there.

But the Chinese government has criticised US support for the Dalai Lama as unwelcome meddling in the internal affairs of its country.
