TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A visit to Taiwan by the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, would be politically sensitive, and will be left to the country’s security agencies to decide, the head of the Cabinet-level Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission.

Minister Kao Su-po said the commission would like to see his visit, but security authorities will make an assessment and come to a decision first.

Kao made the remarks after the Dalai Lama, in an interview with the Hong Kong based weekly Yazhou Zhoukan, said to forge friendly relations with Chinese sisters and brothers and to have exchanges with Buddhist followers, he would like to visit Taiwan again.
