Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 29 November 2011 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Tibet
- Question
- As the Chinese Government have been able to recognise and respect the autonomy of both Hong Kong and Macau in the People's Republic, should they not allow autonomy for Tibet, to ensure that, within the People's Republic, its unique culture and identity are properly respected and recognised, and will the Government try to encourage it to do so?
- Answer
-
My right hon. and learned Friend makes a very fair point indeed. As he knows, we recognise Tibet as part of the People's Republic of China, but we call for meaningful dialogue between the representatives of the Dalai Lama and the Chinese authorities in the interests of autonomy in future. Of course, we always call for respect for human rights.
