Dalai Lama further added," Things are improving in Europe, Africa & Asia - China is more flexible now." However he reiterated that he would not be returning to China. The spiritual leader has been residing in India since 1959. In Himachal Pradesh’s Dharmshala, he established his government-in-exile in 1960.

This face-off led to minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides.
