Washington: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Monday urged the Chinese government to pursue a more "sustainable" policy toward Tibet and said the
only way to do this was for it to talk to the Dalai Lama.
"We believe that the answer for Tibet is to have a more
sustainable policy for the Chinese government concerning
Tibet," Rice told reporters at a news conference with India's
external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee.
"We are going to continue to encourage that dialogue because ultimately that is going to be the only policy that is sustainable in Tibet."
China demonises Dalai Lama as an agitator for Tibetan
independence.
Speaking to reporters, Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said exiled Tibetans could carry on their religious activities in India.
But he warned that India will not allow political activities
to disturb its relations with other countries.
Demonstrations against Chinese rule turned violent on March14 in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.
