Dalai Lama`s envoys arrive tomorrow to Pekin

The Dalai Lama's envoys, led by Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari, arrive in China tomorrow for talks with Chinese officials, the Tibetan government in exile announced today (http://dalailama.com/news/post/484-press-statement). Results from eight previous rounds since 2002 have failed to meet the expectations of the international community. Mary Beth Markey, Vice President for Advocacy of the International Campaign for Tibet, said today: "We welcome Dharamsala's announcement as a sign that both sides see some value in continuing their dialogue. But given the context of the continuing repression in Tibet, and an overall backsliding from the Chinese government on human rights, we hope that this time there will be an indication that the Chinese side is interested in engaging in a results-based dialogue."
