In response to a query on whether the visit of Dalai Lama to Arunachal Pradesh signals a change in India’s policy on Tibet or on the boundary negotiations, the Official Spokesperson said:
"Let me make it absolutely clear that there is no change whatsoever in Government of India’s policy towards the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China. Similarly, our approach to seeking a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution to the boundary question remains unchanged."
