U.S. Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer, who is on a short visit to Himachal Pradesh, had a closed-door meeting with spiritual leader Dalai Lama at Dharamsala on Thursday.
The meeting, lasting more than an hour, was held at the official residence of the Dalai Lama in Macleodganj.
Mr. Roemer said many important issues were discussed, including the dialogue process between Beijing and the Dalai Lama's representatives, which got stalled after the ninth round in January last year.
Mr. Roemer, who arrived in Dharamsala on Wednesday along with his wife to inaugurate the Tibetan Reception Centre, said the Dalai Lama also discussed issues related to ecology and the environment.
The U.S. government had provided 60-65 per cent of the total cost of the reception centre.
Earlier, Mr. Roemer and his wife Sally visited the Upper Tibetan Children's Village School, the largest Tibetan residential school of its kind in India.
