“I have faith in the new leadership. He (Xi) is open-minded and his way of working is quite realistic,” His Holiness the Dalai Lama said while addressing a gathering to mark the 108th Foundation Day of Indian Merchants’ Chamber and its ladies’ wing in Mumbai.
“Previously, I told Hu Jintao that he could learn some good things from India. I shall say the same thing again. Xi Jinping’s thinking is more realistic and he is more open minded so he can learn more from India. He should gather experience from what he notices in India. Both India and China are heavily populated. But India is a democratic nation where people sharing different languages and scripts live with stability and harmony since 1947,” he said.
“Sino-Indian relations (build) on the basis of mutual trust are very important. Not only the whole of Asia, but the entire world can benefit from their (good) relations. Harmony can be brought by trust and not fear,” His Holiness said.
On the contentious border issue, he said it should be resolved through understanding and not by use of force.
- “Tibet’s problem is also India’s problem. Before 1950, there was not a single soldier on the northern border and it was peaceful. Sooner or later, you have to solve the problem but not by force,” His Holiness the Dalai Lama said.
“India is a vast country with a huge population. Different parts of the country speak different languages, yet there is a sense of one-ness among Indians. Democracy is practised strongly in the country and there is a free media. The Chinese President should learn these values from Indians,” he said.
About 20 students held rallies outside the Hyderabad House in Delhi demanding “We want justice for Tibet” and waved Tibetan flags before police arrested them, media reports say.
