China hopes India will stop using Tibet issues to interfere in domestic affairs and avoid affecting the development of ties, its foreign ministry said on Friday.

A senior Indian minister said on Thursday only the Dalai Lama and the trust he set up have the authority to identify his successor as the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism, in a rare comment contradicting China's long-held position.

Beijing says it has the right to approve the Dalai Lama's successor as a legacy from imperial times.

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).
