West's lies about Xizang 'completely untenable': China's top diplomat

[superadmin]

The facts will prove that lies related to China's Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region  concocted by Western forces out of ideological bias are "completely untenable," China's top diplomat Wang Yi said at a forum on Thursday in Nyingchi, Southwest China's Xizang.

This year's forum, which has drawn more countries such as Afghanistan, will boost closer interconnectivity and partnership in the trans-Himalaya region, experts say, as it provides a multilateral platform for the integration of strengths, a key step for the opening-up and development of regional countries.

Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, made the remarks when addressing the opening ceremony of the third China Xizang Trans-Himalaya Forum for International Cooperation, which ran from Wednesday to Friday with representatives from more than 40 countries, regions and international organizations attending.  

The trans-Himalayan region is characterized by a large population, diverse civilizations and substantial ecological diversity, and its development is crucial to the common well-being of people all over the world.
