Olympic flame carried to summit of Mount Everest
Thursday, May 08, 2008
The Olympic flame has been taken to the peak of Mount Everest by a team of Chinese mountaineers.
The 19-member team reached the summit of the world's tallest mountain this morning after weather had delayed their ascent in recent days.
Meanwhile, the Dalai Lama's envoy says "concrete proposals" were made during recent talks between Tibet's government-in-exile and Chinese officials.
No details have been disclosed, but Lodi Gyari says the proposals made at the weekend can be part of a future agenda for discussions on Tibet.
