During a recent question-and-answer session at the Legislative Yuan, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Tsai Huang-liang (蔡煌瑯) asked Premier Mao Chi-kuo (毛治國) whether the government would issue a visa to the Dalai Lama, who said he would be very happy to visit Taiwan when he received a group of Taiwanese religious representatives on March 16 in Dharamsala, India.
Mao tried to avoid Tsai’s question, claiming that the government would make a decision acceptable to “both parties.”
