The Chinese government met recently in Shenzhen with envoys of the Tibetan government-in-exile, for the first time in a year. The envoys included Lodi Gyari, special envoy of the Dalai Lama, whom we hosted in Ottawa in 2004 as part of the events surrounding His Holiness' visit. Apparently the three-day meeting went acceptably well, and the Tibetans (who didn't hold high expectations) are pleased that the Chinese are open to continuing dialogue. Of course, there is skepticism that they are only looking to temporarily preserve their international dignity in view of the upcoming Games, but I say, good news is good news.
