Tibet China talks resume
(Tibet.net) Talks between the Dalai Lama's special envoys, Lodi Gyari and Kelsang Gyaltsen, and representatives of the Chinese leadership have resumed in Beijing. This is the ninth round of dialogue. The envoys are visiting China after a gap of 15 months in a process that began in 2002. A statement published on Tibet.net, the website of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), said that before the envoys left Dharamsala, a two-day meeting of the 'Tibetan Task Force', chaired by the Kalon Tripa, Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche, was held and the delegation finalised their preparations for the talks. The Kalon Tripa and the two envoys then briefed the Dalai Lama and sought his guidance.
