The Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, is to visit Finland in September, the Finnish-Tibetan Cultural Society told the Finnish News Agency (STT) on Saturday.
The Dalai Lama, 71, had earlier been scheduled to visit Finland in early July and to give a lecture at the Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, but his physicians diagnosed overstrain and counselled total rest.
Tuula Saarikoski of the cultural society said the Finlandia Hall lecture would go ahead in September.
During his previous visit to Finland a decade ago, the Dalai Lama met Pekka Haavisto, the then Finnish environment minister. The Chinese embassy in Helsinki declared that it equated such a meeting with interference in China’s internal matters.
