Events for April 2009
02 April 2009
London will host the G20 summit: this is a financial summit convened to talk about the global economic crisis, but will probably be the first occasion that new US President Obama will meet Chinese President Hu Jintao face-to-face. Tibet Groups in the United States and other G20 member states (where the International Tibet Suppot Network has member organisations, such as the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico and Russia) will be urging their leaders to multi-laterally raise the issue of Tibet with President Hu.
