Efforts to preserve Tibetan culture lauded

GENEVA - A prominent Chinese scholar has hailed central authorities and those in the Tibet autonomous region for making great efforts in respecting, preserving, inheriting and promoting traditional Tibetan culture.

Zheng Dui, director of the China Tibetology Research Center, said Tibetan culture is being rejuvenated through "cultural integration of tradition and modernity".

Speaking on Wednesday on the sidelines of the 37th United Nations Human Rights Council session in Geneva, Switzerland - which was sponsored by the China Society for Human Rights Studies - he said the preservation of Tibetan culture is an ongoing and comprehensive project that should be based on full, accurate and in-depth understanding among all parties.
