Envoys of the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama are on their way to China for talks aimed at ending the crisis in Tibet.
A statement Friday from the Dalai Lama's office says the two envoys will arrive in China on
Saturday for "informal talks with representatives of the Chinese leadership."
This would be the first official contacts between representatives of the Tibetan exiles and
the Chinese government since protests turned violent in Tibet in March. (***)
