The Chinese government on Friday accepted the long-standing offer for a dialogue with Dalai Lama on the growing concern of Tibetan cause considering high international pressure. China announced that it would meet representative of Tibetan spiritual leader in the coming week, which has been widely appreciated by India and other International community as a positive gesture.
As the Chinese state-owned media agency Xinhua reports: "In view of the requests repeatedly made by the Dalai side for resuming talks, the relevant department of the central government will have contact and consultation with Dalai's private representative in the coming days".
However, Beijing has been accused the exile spiritual leader of conspiring present violence in Lhasa and inciting Tibetan community though it was firmly turned down by Dalai Lama, who has ever since presenting offer to Chinese political leaders to have serious talk on Tibet issue.
Dalai Lama too reacting to the present Chinese government stands for peaceful resolution saying that any serious dialogue is welcome.
On March 14, the violence erupted in the Tibetan capital Lhasa which spread to other parts of Tibetan dominated regions in Western China has been a serious concern for the Chinese central administration ahead of the Beijing Olympics and also for international community who are appealing for a humane approach from Chinese to deal with.
United States and European Union countries have been pressurising China to have talks with Dalai Lama who has been demanding Tibetan ‘autonomy’ not ‘separation’ with equal rights to ethnic Tibetan community to outweigh the conflict and differences present at Tibetan land.
It would certainly be a challenge for Chinese authority to hold talks with Dalai Lama who blamed the spiritual leader of instigating last month protest to sabotage Olympic torch relay. However, talk with Tibetan community at present context is possibly the best means to move forward considering the growing resentment among young Tibetans around the world and also the international pressure for a peaceful end.
