Some 100 delegates from 12 countries will attend the First Tibetan Culture Forum in Beijing from Oct. 10 to 11, where they will discuss cultural protection in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
The chief organizer, the China Association for the Preservation and Development of Tibetan Culture (CAPDTC), said the forum will include speeches, exhibitions of Tibetan culture, a tour in Beijing and a visit to Tibet by train running on the newly launched Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
Officials, celebrities, journalists and Tibetologists from 12 countries as well as CAPDTC members will attend the forum. More than 30 delegates are expected to deliver speeches. The organizer hopes the forum will help more people get to know Tibet, motivate them to go there and gradually learn to love Tibet. The forum also provides opportunities for Tibet to promote its culture to the outside world.
