The two will meet the Tibetan leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Thursday and visit prominent Tibetan NGOs and organisations in and around Dharamshala such as the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute, Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts and the Tibetan Children’s Village on Friday.
