Padma Wangdu said that Tibet Autonomous Region will actively implememt the consensus that China and America have made and continue to promote and participate in friendly exchange activities between China and America to advance China-U.S. strategic partnership and bring benefits to both peoples.
He gave an introduction of Tibet's great development made in the past sixty years since the peaceful liberation of Tibet.
