A Chinese delegation on a Tibetan cultural exchange visit concluded its two-day stay in Vienna on Tuesday. The visit was aimed at promoting a better understanding of Tibet and its history through lectures and dialogue.
Hao Shiyuan, an academy member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and head of the delegation, gave a lecture on Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhism at Vienna University during the first day of the visit.
"I learned for the first time that there are radio and TV broadcasts, newspapers, and even mobile phone apps, available in Tibetan languages," said Rudolf Schneider of the university, adding that this form of lecture and direct exchanges with scholars from China would help eliminate biases among some Westerners.
