No Consulate in Lhasa

April 6, 2015;

China has turned down India’s request to re-establish its consulate in the Tibetan capital Lhasa. The consulate there was closed during the 1962 war. Instead, it will open its third consulate in China in the southwestern city of Chengdu. The agreement follows prolonged talks which ended in an agreement to establish their consulates in Chengdu and Chennai in India.
