China expects India to handle Tibet issue in line with agreements

Beijing, Mar 18 (UNI) Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao today said Beijing expected India to handle the Tibet issue in line with the agreements reached between the two sides.

''China appreciates the position taken by the Indian government to handle the 'Tibet independence' activities schemed by the Dalai clique,'' he was quoted as saying by Xinhua at a press conference after China's Parliament ended its annual full session.

The Tibet issue is sensitive in Indo-China relations but the two sides have reached broad agreements, he said, adding, ''I hope the Indian government can follow the agreements reached between the two countries and handle this issue in a correct way.'' UNI/AT/RJ AS1356
