"I have much sympathy with what the honourable Member has said about cultural heritage and about the Buddhist tradition. Like the honourable Member I have read the autobiography of the Dalai Lama. It is an extremely moving account, not just of his responsibilities in and towards Tibet but also of his spiritual views as well.
The Commission, like others, has urged dialogue. The Dalai Lama has made it clear that peaceful dialogue is what he wishes. I wish that the Chinese authorities had responded consistently and positively to that overture from the Dalai Lama. At or around the time of President Clinton's visit to China, the President of the People's Republic of China gave the impression that dialogue was on the agenda. It would be very beneficial, not just for Tibet and for all those who believe in peace and stability in Asia, but it would also be greatly to the credit of the Government of the People's Republic of China if they were to respond to those attempts to begin a dialogue."@en1
