The delegation met Tibetan-government-in-exile's Prime Minister Samdhong Rinpoche and the Dalai Lama's special envoy Lodi Gyari here Sunday.

The spiritual guru is scheduled to visit the US next month.

'His holiness is going to the US where he is invited and it won't be unusual if he meets Obama. As of now, no meeting is scheduled between them,' Sonam N. Dagpo, secretary of international relations Tibetan government-in-exile, told IANS.

'He had met Obama before he became president. He has also met many former US presidents, including Bill Clinton and George W. Bush,' said Dagpo.

The Chinese government has stepped up pressure on foreign governments that receive visits from the spiritual leader. It has already reacted angrily to a meeting between the Dalai Lama and Obama, saying the meeting would sour Sino-US relations.

Sources in the Dalai Lama's Office said that modalities regarding the proposed meeting between the Buddhist monk and the US president 'are being worked out during the visit of Obama aides'.

Dharamsala is the headquarters of the Tibetan government-in-exile, which is not recognised by any country in the world.

A total of 140,000 Tibetans now live in exile, over 100,000 of them in different parts of India. Over six million Tibetans live in Tibet.
