From Reuters:
Talks between Tibetan envoys and Chinese officials set for June 11 have been postponed due to last month’s earthquake, an aide to the Dalai Lama said on Friday, adding he hoped the two sides would meet this month.
Talks in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen in early May were the first since an anti-Beijing riot in Lhasa and widespread unrest in Tibet and nearby areas, and ended with an agreement to hold a further meeting with June 11 set as a tentative date.
But Tenzin Taklha, a senior aide to the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, said the talks had been put off because of last month’s earthquake in China’s Sichuan province that killed more than 69,000 people.
