Delegation teaching Europeans about Tibet

Belgian academics and officials listened with great interest to a presentation on Tibet's cultural and historical development by a Chinese delegation visiting Huy, a picturesque town about 80 kilometers from Brussels.

The presentation, which included facts, figures and photos, was sponsored by the Association for International Cultural Exchanges of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The group also has made presentations in other parts of Europe, including Barcelona, Madrid and Vienna.

The questions and comments indicated that Belgians are curious about educational progress, the rights of Tibetan girls and how the autonomous system operates in the region.
