BEIJING — The Dalai Lama’s government-in-exile expressed optimism about upcoming talks with Chinese officials but cautioned Saturday not to expect too much from the first meeting between the two sides since violent anti- government protests erupted in Tibet.
Talks were scheduled to begin today and last for a day or two in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, which neighbors Hong Kong, said Samdhong Rinpoche, the prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile based in Dharmsala, India.
Two of the Dalai Lama’s representatives planned to push for peace in Tibetan areas of China and address Beijing’s accusations that the Dalai Lama has been masterminding the recent unrest.
