Gordon Brown achieves breakthrough in Tibet crises
March 26, 2008
The British Premier clinched a major break through in Tibet crises by way of clinching talks between strained leaders, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and China’s premier. The Chinese have faced worldwide condemnation for their move to repress independence campaigns in the region using force. China’s conditions, revolve around mainly two factors, namely, the spiritual leader abandons the proposition of independence of Tibet and ceases his separatist activities.
Brown spoke to Wen Jiabao, on Wednesday morning, and revealed that Wen Jiabao has agreed to hold talks with Dalai Lama. Brown would meet the exiled Buddhist leader in Britain this year.
Brown told MP’s about the tough stand he took while talking to premier Wen. He said, “I made it clear there had to be an end to violence in Tibet.” Tibetan campaigners praised Brown agreeing to meet their leader Dalai Lama.
Leader of Opposition David Cameron’s, effort to put Brown on the spot in the Commons by raising query whether Brown would meet the Dalai Lama, was defeated by the announcement.
Former Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said, “During the telephonic conversation with Brown, it was cleared that the Dalai Lama must abandon ‘the proposition of independence of Tibet and cease his separatist activities Then and then only a dialogue will be a possible”
