The meeting provided an opportunity for the Chinese friends to ask questions and clarify misunderstandings, he said.

China has various minorities and His Holiness said every effort must be made for a harmonious relationship amongst the minorities. However, repression creates greater grievances.

For harmonious relationship acceptance of truth is very important and critical. For friendship to last, there must be confidence and transparency, he said.

Referring to the Tibetan issue, His Holiness the Dalai Lama said that China does not seem to be willing to resolve the Tibetan issue.

“We are not seeking independence but autonomy. It would be helpful for the mainland people to hear this,” he said.
