Dalai Lama to Norway in February

In February, Dalai Lama is returning to Norway for visiting the International Student Festival in Trondheim (ISFiT), the world’s largest student festival. 

Dalai Lama’s visit has been recently confirmed and ISFiT announced the news during the academic year opening at NTNU in this morning. 

Talknig to Dagbladet, ISFiT president Marius Jones said that the main reason for getting him to the festival is his being a great inspiration to all world’s students. 

– Dalai Lama visited the festival in 1994. ISFiT invited him back because of his values, attitudes, and his engagement for human rights and peace, wrote ISFIT. 

Dalai Lama had caused uproar when he last visited Norway in May to mark the 25 years of having received the Nobel Peace Prize. Due to Norway’s delicate relations with China, Prime Minister Erna Solberg, Foreign Minister Børge Brende and parliamentary president Olemic Thommessen had not met him.
