The authorities announced Sunday that relevant central government
departments will meet personal representatives of the Dalai Lama at his request
in early July.
The central authorities have kept a constant and clear policy towards the
Dalai Lama, a government spokesman said.
"Our door is always open for the dialog with the Dalai Lama," he said, "(We)
hope that the Dalai Lama would treasure this opportunity and give positive
response to the requirements of the central authorities."
On May 4, officials from relevant central government departments had a
meeting with representatives of the Dalai Lama at his request, the first time
after the March 14 riots in Lhasa.
