He saluted them for taking the initiative to work in Tibet and for showing a high degree of political awareness and dedication to serving the people in Tibet. Meanwhile, he expected the cadres to do well in four aspects: giving play to the spirit of plain living and hard struggle, defying difficulties, and daring to sacrifice; promoting the unity of nationalities and respecting minority nationalities' customs and habits as well as religious rites; stepping up study and keeping themselves physically fit; and safeguarding the motherland's unification and working for Tibet's.

During the class, the sponsor transmitted speeches by central leading comrades at the third forum on work in Tibet, explained the party central committee and State Council's policies on nationalities and reli
