DHARAMSHALA - The Dalai Lama on Saturday welcomed China's offer of talks to help resolve unrest in his Tibetan homeland but said he wanted only "serious discussions."

"I have not received yet any detailed information (about the talks) but basically talk is good," the Tibetan spiritual leader said on his return to his northern Indian base of Dharamshala after a two-week visit to the United States.

The Dalai Lama told reporters he wanted "serious discussions about how to reduce Tibetan resentment and a thorough discussion" of the problems in Tibet.

A meeting just to appease international concern would be "meaningless," he said, a day after China's official Xinhua news agency reported that Chinese officials would soon meet with one of the Dalai Lama's envoys. -AFP/vm
