Top Mongolian officials to be present at Beijing Olympics

Tuesday, 08 April 2008

Mongolian officials will attend the opening ceremonies at the Beijing summer Olympics.

Both Mongolian President N. Enkhbayar and Prime Minister S. Bayar will travel to Beijing for the event. This is seen as a welcome decision by China, which faces increasing criticism for its handling of unrest in Tibet.

In recent days, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has urged world leaders to boycott the opening Olympic ceremonies in protest over China’s handling of Tibet and their record on human rights issues.

Mongolian officials, however, stress that they have hosted the Tibetan opposition leader, the Dali Lama, on a number of occasions despite protests from China.

Officials further mentioned that Mongolia has significant historical and spiritual ties to Tibet.

Dear Gustav, you are right, we can't tell what future will be, but I believe that ALL people have the right to self-determination for their Home Country -
