Beijing: Geneva-based envoys commend China’s effort to develop Tibet & preserve unique culture

China Daily: It was reported that China recently invited Geneva-based diplomatic envoys from developing countries to China and they paid a visit to Tibet. Can you give us more details? Mao Ning: At the invitation of China’s foreign ministry, Geneva-based diplomatic envoys from 11 developing countries, including Pakistan, Belarus, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, came to China and paid a visit to Tibet from August 27 to September 2. The envoys spoke highly of China’s people-centered development approach and efforts in fully safeguarding human rights of people of all ethnic groups. They said that the progress achieved in various sectors in Tibet exceeds expectation and the fruits of development are truly shared by the people there—a vivid example that a happy life for all is what human rights protection is all about. The envoys observed bilingual classes in local middle and elementary schools, watched courses on Tibetan music, dancing, calligraphy, innovation and artificial intelligence, and visited the dormitories and canteens of boarding middle schools. The 15-year free education in Tibet received recognition from the envoys. They said that given the vast area of Tibet, providing boarding schooling to local students is an effective way of ensuring the equal right to high-quality education among children of all ethnic groups and that China provides a stellar example for all countries in protecting people’s right to education. The envoys spoke highly of China’s tremendous efforts in safeguarding the freedom of religious belief, protecting religious relics and carrying forward Tibetan medicine. They said that the lies about Tibet fabricated by some western countries couldn’t be further from the truth. The international community will not be deceived by these lies. The achievement China has made attests to the importance that countries need to pursue their own path of human rights development that suits their national realities. The envoys expressed readiness to enhance exchanges and cooperation with China, strengthen multilateral coordination on human rights affairs, jointly oppose the politicization of human rights, safeguard international fairness and justice and advance the sound development of the international human rights cause. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
