Dunne to host Dalai Lama reception

United Future leader Peter Dunne will host a reception on behalf of the National Press Club for His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet next Tuesday in the Grand Hall at Parliament.

"I'm delighted to have this opportunity to welcome a distinguished international figure to New Zealand," he said.

"One of the great delights of living in a diverse democracy like ours is the opportunity to hear all points of view on international affairs.

"The Dalai Lama is an inspirational figure and I am very much looking forward to meeting him again, and hearing his insights," he said.
