Dharamsala, Feb 1 (IANS) Two envoys of Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, Monday returned to this Himachal Pradesh hill station Monday after holding talks with the Chinese leadership in Beijing, a Tibetan official said, but declining to divulge any details of the meetings’ outcome.
“Both special envoys (Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari and Kelsang Gyaltsen) today (Monday) reached here after holding meetings with Chinese leaders,” Tenzin Taklha, joint secretary at the Dalai Lama’s office, told IANS.

“They briefed prime minister-in-exile Samdhong Rinpoche regarding their talks and they would brief His Holiness (the Dalai Lama) Tuesday morning,” he said.

Taklha refused to divulge details regarding the outcome of the meetings.

The envoys reached Beijing Jan 26 after a gap of 15 months for the ninth round of talks since 2002 to try and find a solution to the Tibetan issue.

During the eighth round of talks in November 2008, differences cropped up over the memorandum on genuine autonomy for the Tibetan people submitted by the exiles. The Chinese rejected it, saying that it was aimed at dividing China.

The Dalai Lama, 74, fled Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959 and came to India. The Tibetan government-in-exile is headquartered in this town. It is not recognised by any country.
