Rudd vows to keep pushing Tibetan rights
Michelle Grattan; 13/4/08
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has pledged to continue to strongly push Tibetan human rights, as he returns today from his around-the-world trip. Ending his four-day China visit with an appearance at a Regional Leaders’ Forum at Boao, Mr Rudd also met Chinese President Hu Jintao, bringing to about 15 the number of heads of government he has had bilateral sessions with during a trip that has taken him to the US, Europe, Britain and China. While Tibet has been the politically controversial issue, Mr Rudd’s trip has focused on the international economy and liquidity crisis, climate change, trade and general political and strategic issues.
