DHARAMSHALA, October 7: Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay, the elected leader of the Tibetan people, has said the issue of Tibet should be “on the table” during talks between India and China.

Dr Sangay was talking to reporters in the Indian capital New Delhi enroute to a 20-day visit to the United States and Europe, Friday.

“I believe Tibet should be on the table as a foreign issue,” media reports quoted Dr Sangay as saying. His statement comes days after the Indian Defence Minister AK Antony said negotiations with China over the Indo-Tibet border dispute were in the “final stages.”
