Just ahead of Olympic games to start China has agreed to host a meeting with envoys of Tibetan spiritual leader. The talk would begin on Saturday.
Envoys of the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, are going to China for talks with officials, the Dalai Lama's office says.
Two Tibetan envoys are to arrive in Beijing on Saturday for talks on ending the crisis in Tibetan areas of China.
This would be the first contact between the two sides since anti-China protests in Tibet in March turned violent.
The Dalai Lama has headed a Tibetan government in exile based in India since he fled Tibet in 1959.

It's funny how the stories about China's crackdown and the world's reaction sat on page one interminably, and now stories of gains in the situation languish!
