''The situation in Tibet is a major concern because it is a country rich in traditions and neighbour to the big power, China,'' the cardinal said after celebrating mass in a Rome church, according to a news agency.
''We hope that relations'' between China and Tibet improve and foster ''a dialogue on peace'' and relations that allow for ''brotherhood and mutual trust'', the agency quoted the No 2 official at the Vatican as saying.
Last week on Easter Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI called for ''solutions which will safeguard the peace and prosperity'' of Tibet.
A few days before, on March 19, the pope had broken his silence on the crisis in Tibet, calling for an end to violence there and urging ''dialogue and tolerance''.
