Calls for China to negotiate with the Dalai Lama and stop violating human rights in Tibet issue throughout the world.
Meanwhile, under heavy guard, the Olympic flame arrived in Beijing, set for the games to begin.
At least 90 Tibetans have been arrested trying to storm the Chinese embassy in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu.
It's the first time demonstrators have managed to get close to the Chinese embassy since security was stepped up last month. Nepal has now threatened more crackdowns if exiles continue to carry out protests against China. Meanwhile, in Beijing, paramilitary troops have been issued a mobilisation order to ensure a trouble-free Olympics.
