June 03, 2012 19:27

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama's two special envoys, in talks with Beijing since2002, have resigned citing the "deteriorating" situation in Tibet and frustration over lack of positive response from the Chinese side to the dialogue process.

The resignation of Lodi G Gyari and Envoy Kelsang Gyaltsen, who have held nine rounds of talks with the Chinese side as part of the dialogue process which remains stalled for over two years now, has been accepted by Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government-in-exile Lobsang Sangay, a spokesperson of the Tibetan 'cabinet' said today.

"Given the deteriorating situation inside Tibet since 2008 leading to the increasing cases of self-immolations by Tibetans, we are compelled to submit our resignations," the envoys said in their letter.
