NEW DELHI (AFP) - The Dalai Lama appealed to China's leaders Friday to enter into "meaningful dialogue" over the crisis in Tibet, according to a statement from the exiled spiritual leader.

"Even at this juncture I have expressed my willingness to the Chinese authorities to work together to bring about peace and stability," he said in a message to his "Chinese brothers and sisters."

"I have appealed to the leadership of the PRC (People's Republic of China) to clearly understand my position and work to resolve these problems.

"I urge the Chinese leadership to exercise wisdom and to initiate a meaningful dialogue with the Tibetan people.

"I also appeal to them to make sincere efforts to contribute to the stability and harmony of the PRC and avoid creating rifts between the nationalities," the message said.
