The head of the delegation, a National People's Congress representative and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Baima Chilin, stated that the purpose of the delegation's visit to Latvia is to deepen mutual understanding and trust, and to promote the development of bilateral relations. Tibet has achieved a historic leap in social systems and economic and social development through important historical periods such as peaceful liberation, democratic reform, the establishment of the autonomous region, and opening up to the outside world, creating a miracle in the development of human society.
The delegation emphasized the situation regarding the system of regional ethnic autonomy, the development of Tibetan language and culture, and the freedom of religious belief.
The Latvian side expressed that Latvia attaches great importance to developing relations with China, adheres to the One China principle, and respects China's core interests and major concerns. The introduction of the situation in Tibet by the delegation left a deep impression, and it is hoped that more face-to-face exchanges will be conducted in the future.
