2. Concerned about the risk of the disappearance of national identity and culture,
3. Welcome the fact that the Government of the People's Republic of China is apparently willing to negotiate with Dalai Lama;
4. Appeal to the Government of the People's Republic of China to promote the peace process in Tibet, respecting the human rights of the Tibetan people, its culture and civilisation.
