Dalai Lama completes 50 yrs in exile in India

April 1, 2009
Tibetan spiritual leader in exile, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, has called upon the Chinese government to throw open Tibet to “independent, impartial observers” immediately.

Only that, he said, would settle the trading of opinions that occurs when the Tibetan Government in Exile and the People's Republic of China (PRC) sit down for dialogue.
