Beijing, August 16

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi made a rare visit to Tibet and the border areas last week and stressed that the security and stability of the region was important to the overall development of the country, the official media here reported. Wang, who is also State Councillor of the Communist Party of China, met Tibet’s Communist Party secretary and chairman of the Tibet regional government.

“The security and stability of the region is important to the overall development of China,” the Global Times quoted Wang as having told the Tibet Daily.

Wang goes on special “research trips” to several Chinese regions every year, the report said. Top Chinese leaders visit Tibet annually but it’s rare for the Foreign Minister to visit the remote Himalayan region. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
