BEIJING (AFP) — Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama may be allowed to visit China if he "completely abandons" his independence ambitions, according to the nation's religious affairs chief.
"As long as the Dalai Lama makes clear that he has completely abandoned Tibetan 'independence', it is not impossible for us to consider his visit," State Administration for Religious Affairs director Ye Xiaowen told the China Daily.
"We can discuss it."
Tibet has been ruled by China since its troops "liberated" the region in 1950.
