xinhua news agency, paris, september 23 (reporter qiao benxiao) a chinese tibetologists exchange group visited france from the 20th to the 22nd, and had in-depth exchanges and discussions with french think tanks, experts, etc. on china's modernization practices in tibet and hot issues of current international concern.

the exchange group is led by zha luo, deputy director-general of the china tibetology research center, and its members include tibetan studies experts and scholars from the china tibetology research center, the institute of asia-pacific and global strategy of the chinese academy of social sciences, and the institute of human rights of china university of political science and law.

in a discussion with the head and experts of the french center for asian studies, the experts of the exchange group introduced the specific practices of tibet in promoting the new journey of chinese-style modernization after completing the task of poverty alleviation as scheduled. zha luo said that as an important part of chinese-style modernization, tibet's modernization pursues common prosperity and prevents polarization; pursues the coordinated development of material and spiritual civilization, which can keep pace with the times and inherit and develop tibet's excellent traditional culture; pursues harmonious coexistence between man and nature and builds a solid ecological security barrier; pursues close economic and cultural exchanges with neighboring countries and regions and promotes regional cooperation.

the paris institute of geopolitics held a thematic seminar for the exchange group. experts from the exchange group pointed out based on historical facts that tibet has belonged to china since ancient times, and the so-called "tibet issue" is the product of the imperialist forces' colonial aggression against china's tibet region in modern times. now it has become a card for some external forces to suppress china, and it has never had anything to do with the well-being of the tibetan people.

french experts welcomed the exchange group's visit and said it was very beneficial to enhance mutual understanding. jean divigno, a french international affairs expert, said that tibet has been a part of china since ancient times, and the international community has a consensus on this. some countries' attempts to suppress china by messing up tibet will not succeed. bruno devesky, a professor at the national institute of oriental languages ​​and civilizations of france, said that he visited qinghai and gansu in china last year and saw that people of all ethnic groups live in peace and harmony, and that the tibetan language, culture, and religion are fully respected and protected.

during the visit, the delegation also held talks with many french people who know and are friendly to china in paris and toulouse. after the trip to france, the delegation will also visit norway. (end)
