The US and India are proposing that both the Dalai Lama and his supporters have a dialogue with China to resolve the continuing protests in Tibet.
According to India’s External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, “We do hope it will be possible to resolve the issue through peaceful dialogue between the parties concerned.” Condoleezza Rice commented that.” We believe that the Dalai Lama can play a very favourable role given his belief in non-violence, given his stated position that he does not seek political independence for Tibet, and given his unassailable authoritative moral stature, not just with the people of Tibet but with people from around the world,”
This was spurred on after there were reports of mass unrest after the 49th anniversary of the uprising of Tibet against China.
