Dalai Lama nixed tour to save talks

For the sake of his 6 million fellow Tibetans, spiritual leader Dalai Lama said on Thursday that his plans to visit Taiwan had to be reconsidered to secure negotiations with the Chinese government.
At a crowded Schiller Theater in Berlin, the Dalai Lama presented the Light of Truth award to former Czech president Vaclav Havel, former German minister of economic affairs Otto Graf Lamdsdorff and Irmtraut Waeger, head of the German section of the Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet.

The annual award to prominent, long-time supporters of the Tibetan people has been presented since 1995.
