I'm not seeking independence. Of course, historically, I think Tibet was a separate nation. Whether in the past Tibet was part of China or not, it is up to history and legal experts. I am saying if you go back to the past, there are lots of problems there. But better to forget about past.
History is history.
Now look forward and then even two separate communities can easily join. That's my fundamental belief. So then at the meeting, I told them very friendly, I very much appreciate your stand about Tibetans receiving the right to independence. But at the same time, I want to make clear to you that I'm not seeking independence. Then also I exchanged my views regarding independence of Taiwan, also, now at a very emotional level.
