84. Dalai Lama Envoys Report Better Understanding With China

AFP, DHARAMSALA, India - February 25, 2006

Envoys for the Dalai Lama said Saturday that recent talks with China had revealed an improved understanding between the two despite differences over the issue of autonomy for Tibet. The envoys reported to the Tibetan spiritual leader Saturday at the Indian hill station of Dharamsala, where the Tibetan government-in-exile is based, after concluding talks with Chinese leaders this week. "Today there is a better and deeper understanding of each other's position and the fundamental differences that continue to exist in the positions held by the two parties," the envoys said in a statement. Lodi Gyari Gyaltsen and Kelsang Gyaltsen concluded their week-long talks in China Wednesday, along with two senior Tibetan officials. Tibet has been ruled by China since 1950. The Dalai Lama fled into exile in India in 1959 and direct ties between the Tibetan leader and Beijing collapsed in 1993. The dialogue between the two sides resumed in September 2002 after a thaw in relations. The first three rounds of talks were held in Beijing, while the fourth round was held in Switzerland. After the latest round, the Tibetans expressed hope of further dialogue. "Our Chinese counterparts made clear their interest in continuing the present process and their firm belief that the obstacles can be overcome through more discussions and engagements," they said. The Dalai Lama, who was awarded the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize for his dedication to Tibet's non-violent liberation, is branded by China as a separatist because of his earlier calls for independence. He has since given up his original demands for his homeland's independence and now instead talks of a "meaningful autonomy" to preserve Tibet's culture, language and environment. Many Tibetans criticise the Dalai Lama for giving up the fight for independence and see the current dialogue as a political gimmick by China.
