A Tibetan delegation of the Chinese National People's Congress (NPC) held a media workshop here in Lithuania's capital city on December 19.

Some 20 guests, including journalists from Lithuania's mainstream media, experts, scholars and Tibetans living in the Baltic state, attended the event.

Norbu Dondrup, member of the Tibet Autonomous Regional People's Congress and vice chairman of the regional government, said that the delegation is comprised of Tibetan and Han public servants who have all contributed to and witnessed Tibet's great development.

Knowing Tibet well, they are more competent to represent Tibetan people, Norbu Dondrup said, adding that he expected an increasing number of Lithuanian tourists to visit Tibet and see the social progress happening there.

In response to a question raised by the Lithuanian side on the reincarnation of the 14th Dalai Lama, Norbu Dondrup said that the reincarnation of Living Buddhas, including the Dalai Lama, should abide by national laws and regulations, religious rituals and historical traditions.

Norbu Dondrup said that the Tibetan people cherish their current happy life, firmly support the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the central government, sincerely love President Xi Jinping, and firmly oppose all attempts to undermine Tibet's unity and stability.

During their visit on December 18-20, the delegation also met with Deputy Speaker of the Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas) Jonas Liesys and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Neris Germanas.

Both sides spoke highly of the prospects of bilateral relations and expressed their willingness to continue to strengthen practical cooperation in such fields as economy and trade, culture, tourism and sports so as to benefit the two peoples.
