Several pro-Tibet groups and about 133 MPs elected in 30 different parliaments of the world have sent a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Stepehen Harper, who now hosts the Toronto meeting of the leaders of the 20 largest industrialized nations, which also involved the Chinese president.
Matthew Mecacci, president of the International Parliamentary Group for Tibet, called "essential that the leaders of the G-20 to convince China that it is necessary to resume negotiations with representatives of Tibet." Beijing had opened talks with Tibet following the international outcry for the suppression in the country in March 2008 for fear of a boycott of the Beijing Olympics in August 2008. But the Olympics finished, closed the box with nothing done and he did not want to reopen.
Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, Prime Minister (Kalon Tripa) of the Tibetan government in exile, spoke on the matter. The meeting of G-20 says Rinpoche - has financial purposes and on such occasions to human rights and civil liberties is not given much attention at this time. It 'sad that in the 21st century human rights and dignity are not regarded as relevant and part of humanity suffers from oppression and exploitation by totalitarian regimes. But this is now reality, the focus is placed primarily on economics and trade, was reluctant to raise issues that are uncomfortable and can not assist their economic interests.
