Throughout their meetings, the Dalai Lama and President Lee spoke completely in English. The Dalai Lama congratulated Lee on being the first democratically elected president in the 5000-year history of China. However, no other political topic was touched upon during their conversation.
二人全程以英語交談，除了達賴喇嘛恭喜李登輝去年當選中國五千年來第一位民選總統外，完全不涉及政治。
