At a lecture given in the morning at Warsaw University, the Tibetan spiritual leader praised the efforts underway by some regional Polish politicians to have a street intersection name after Free Tibet.

Regarding the situation in Tibet, the Dalai Lama said, according to PAP: 'Travel to Tibet and convince yourselves how it is there. If the situation is as good as the Chinese say, then they should also show it to the world.'

The Dalai Lama, who arrived in Poland late Monday, is to receive honourary Warsaw city citizenship Wednesday.
