From AP:
Envoys of the Dalai Lama were traveling to China for talks aimed at ending the crisis in Tibet, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader’s office said Friday.
The talks would be the first official contact between representatives of the Tibetan exiles and the Chinese government since protests turned violent in Tibet in March.
The two envoys were going to China for “informal talks with representatives of the Chinese leadership,” a statement from the Dalai Lama’s office said. It gave no further details on where or when the talks would take place, though Tibetan government spokesman Thubten Samphal said the envoys had arrived in Hong Kong Friday.
The representatives would convey the Dalai Lama’s “deep concerns,” over China’s handling of the situation in Tibet and would put forward “suggestions to bring peace to the region,” the statement said.
