Dalai Lama yet to receive talks invite from Beijing: spokesman

 Paris (AFP) April 29, 2008
 The Dalai Lama's representative in Paris said Tuesday that Tibet's spiritual leader had yet to receive an invitation from Beijing despite China's public offer of talks.

"China announced, via its official press agency, that Beijing wished to hold dialogue with a representative of the Dalai Lama," Jampal Chosang told AFP. "That announcement was made on Friday.... To-date, we have not received a letter of invitation from China.

"Until we receive an invitation, our representative cannot reply," he added.

Chosang was speaking after addressing the foreign affairs commission at the French parliament on unrest in Tibet.

Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Tuesday the Dalai Lama should "cherish" China's offer to reopen talks, as she restated her government's many conditions for dialogue.

"(He should) take concrete measures to stop his criminal acts of violence, stop his sabotage of the Beijing Olympics and his separatist activities, so as to create conditions for the next step of talks," she said.

China insists the Dalai Lama has fomented the latest unrest and wants independence for his homeland.

The Dalai Lama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, has repeatedly denied all these charges.

China has ruled Tibet since 1951, after sending in troops to "liberate" the remote Himalayan region the previous year.

The Dalai Lama fled his homeland in 1959 following a failed uprising.
