Learning Tibetan language is compulsory during the compulsory education period. In addition, Tibetan culture and Tibetan medicine have been well inherited, protected and developed.
The Constitution of China also ensures that people across the country enjoy the freedom of religious belief. The members of the delegation gave an introduction of how religious freedom has been protected in Tibet with their own experience.
Denmark is one of the first western countries to establish diplomatic relations with China. Next year, Denmark and China will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, according to officials of the International Department of the Danish Parliament. The Danish government has always adhered to the One China policy and recognized Tibet as an integral part of China, which is also the consensus of the majority party in the Danish Parliament.
