Reporters from Baltic nations visit Tibet, Beijing

Xinhua, June 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

Ten reporters from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been on a 10-day tour of Tibet and Beijing which ended on Tuesday.

The reporters, invited by the State Council Information Office, interviewed farmers, herders, and people in residential communities, schools, enterprises and temples in Tibet. They visited the Lama Temple, China Tibetology Research Center, and Xinhua News Agency in Beijing.

They focused on topics including locals' lives, economic development, culture and environmental protection.

Juris Paiders, head of Latvia's journalist association and one of the 10 delegates, had already been to Tibet 10 years ago. He said its development at that time was impressive and it had moved on since then. Endi
