Tibet envoys head to China for talks on autonomy
Afp, New Delhi
Two envoys of the Tibet government-in-exile in India will head for China on Friday for a sixth round of talks on greater autonomy for the Himalayan region, the exiles' foreign minister said yesterday. "They'll be in China for about a week," Kalong Tempa Tsering, minister in the Tibet Central Administration, based in the Indian hill town of Dharamsala, told AFP Thursday. "They are going with an open heart and mind." Envoys Lodi Gyaltsen Gari and Kelsang Gyaltsen were briefed by Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama Tuesday, a statement released by the Dalai Lama's office Thursday said. "We are not demanding independence but we want genuine autonomy for the entire Tibetan region," said Tsering.
