Foreign Affairs committee  You mentioned the Tibetan communities living here in Canada. Actually, in Toronto yesterday and in Ottawa today, I have met the representatives, the patriotic Tibetan people living here in Canada. They have a very good life here, and we are really concerned about them. We will have equal treatment for those patriots no matter whether they live inside or outside our country.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm talking about human rights, and I think there's no conflict between the protection of the local Tibetan spoken and written language and the rule of law. What the person you mentioned said was to protect the local languages, no matter whether they're spoken or written, and what he did was to incite separatist activity…and we need to focus on what he did, rather than what he said.

Foreign Affairs committee  I believe China is a country under the rule of law. We have ample evidence of criminals who were punished according to the law and the regulations of China. The second thing is about the language. We are using Chinese rather than the Tibetan language. Since Chinese is a universal language used in China, there is no problem with us speaking Chinese, but if any one of you can speak the Tibetan language then it is okay for me to talk in the Tibetan language.

Foreign Affairs committee  Distinguished Chairman Nault and friends from the foreign affairs and international development committee, it is a pleasure for me and my delegation to visit Canada, especially this foreign affairs committee here today, and to have discussions with our counterparts. If I may, I would like to introduce the major members of our delegation.
