TAIWAN MAY CREATE TIBET OFFICE (AP)
Published by World Tibet Network New - Monday, March 31, 1997

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) -- Following the Dalai Lama's recent visit, Taiwan will allocate $181,818 for a liaison office of the Tibetan government-in-exile, a newspaper reported Sunday.

But officials mindful of Taiwan's residual claim over Tibet are still debating what name to give it, the China Times said.

A consensus was reached with the Dalai Lama's older brother, Gyalo Thondup, to set up a Tibetan religious and cultural center in Taipei, the newspaper said, quoting unidentified government sources.

Tibet has dropped its previous insistence that an office in Taipei be given the same title and quasi-diplomatic status as its offices in Japan, Britain and elsewhere, the paper reported.

Separate cabinet agencies will decide on a formal name for the center and what conditions to attach to the Dalai Lama's appointment of a director, it said.

The Dalai Lama left Taiwan on Thursday after an unprecedented six-day visit.

Beijing attacked the Dalai Lama's visit here as a conclave of "splittists," the label it uses for those it accuses of trying to break up the Chinese motherland. Taiwan's governing Nationalists, who fled here in 1949 after the communist takeover of the mainland, still claim all of China, including Tibet.
