New Delhi - More than 600 exiled Tibetan leaders gathered in the northern Indian town of Dharamsala Monday to air their views and aspirations on the best course of action for the Tibetan cause.
The situation in Tibet was serious and at this "critical stage" all Tibetans had to come together to discuss their views on what future action needed to be taken, Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile said in his opening speech.
The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, had called for the four-day special meeting, saying that nothing substantive had been achieved in several rounds of talks with the Chinese leadership on greater autonomy for Tibetans within China.
