Beijing: China said on Thursday it was willing to talk to the Dalai Lama if he takes concrete steps to prove his sincerity in negotiations.
"The door is open for dialogue between the Central Government and Dalai on condition that he shows sincerity for talks through concrete action," foreign ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu said.
Jiang told reporters the government has shown great sincerity and patience for establishing contacts and open talks with the Dalai Lama, who has never given positive and comprehensive response.
"We have repeated that as long as Dalai gives up activities of separating the motherland, disrupting the Beijing Olympic Games and inciting violent sabotage, we are willing to continue contacts and talks with him," said Jiang.
