Beijing - China on Thursday confirmed that officials held more talks with envoys of the Dalai Lama, but again accused the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader of supporting recent anti-Chinese riots.
Du Qinglin, head of the Communist Party's United Front Work Department, met envoys Lodi Gyari and Kelsang Gyaltsen in Beijing, the department said in statement released via state media.
Du told the envoys that the Dalai Lama should "openly and explicitly promise and prove it in his action not to support activity to disturb the Beijing Olympic Games," the official Xinhua news agency quoted the statement as saying.
