"Tibet Conference in Nepal Pushed Online" The International Association for Tibetan Studies (IATS) conference was set to take place at Kathmandu University from August 23 to 29, with esteemed scholars discussing the history, culture, and society of Tibet.
However, organizers were forced to shift the event online due to concerns over diplomatic relations. Nepal's decision has left many wondering whether the government is appeasing China or genuinely exercising caution.
The country hosts thousands of Tibetan refugees and shares a cultural affinity with Tibet.
