China urges France to respect its Tibet concernsAugust 20th, 2008 - 7:36 pm ICT by IANS Beijing, Aug 20 (Xinhua) China Wednesday urged France to respect its concerns over the Tibet issue ahead of a meeting between the French foreign minister and Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama Friday. “We hope France would prudently handle sensitive issues (related to Tibet),” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said at a press conference here Wednesday. Qin said the Chinese government’s policy on Tibet is clear and consistent. He hoped both countries would work for close ties. Dalai Lama is on a 12-day visit to France during which he is expected to meet French lawmakers. No official reception was planned, but the Dalai Lama would meet privately with members from the Franco-Tibetan interest group, officials said. French President Nicolas Sarkozy was not due to meet the Dalai Lama. While French media have been speculating over the politically sensitive nature of such a meeting, the Elysee Palace indicated that the Dalai Lama had not yet asked for a meeting with Sarkozy.

KINA je od SAD-a u četvrtak zatražila da ne dopusti posjet izgnanog tibetanskog duhovnog vođe Dalaj Lame, koji bi se sljedeći tjedan trebao sastati i s predsjednikom Georgeom W. Bushom. U priopćenju kineskog ministarstva vanjskih poslova stoji da kineska strana od "američke vladi traži da se strogo pridržava činjenice da je Tibet dio Kine". Kina je od SAD-a zatražila da se obveže da "neće potpomagati nezavisnost Tibeta i Dalaj Lami omogućiti da se u Americi angažira na aktivnostima koje potiču podjelu Kine". Dalaj Lama bi sljedeći tjedan tijekom trotjednog boravka u SAD-u trebao posjetiti New York, Washington i još dva druga grada. Iako Dalaj Lama opetovano ističe da mu je cilj autonomija Tibeta a ne razdvajanje od Kine, njegovi posjeti stranim zemljama u kineskom državnom vrhu uvijek izazivaju gnjev. Dalaj Lama je dobitnik Nobelove nagrade za mir.
