Forty-one foreign diplomats attended the exhibition marking the 50th anniversary of democratic reforms in Tibet at the Cultural Palace of Nationalities in Beijing yesterday.

The military attaches from 22 countries stood out from the crowd by turning up in uniform and carefully listened, read and watched comprehensive documents about Tibet's history and its democratic reform.

"This exhibition is informative and offered me a great opportunity to see Tibet with fresher and wiser eyes", said a military officer from Mongolia.
