The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama says talks with China would be pointless unless Beijing is "serious" about finding a solution to the Tibetan issue.

He says there have been six rounds of talks but nothing has happened.

China's state-run Xinhua news agency announced on Friday that Beijing would meet an envoy of the Tibetan leader for talks in the coming days.

The latest comments came amid reports that a special envoy of the Tibetan spiritual leader, who has headed previous rounds of inconclusive talks with China since 2002, would arrive in India on Wednesday.

Analysts say the offer by China was a response to the intense global pressure over its crackdown in the remote Himalayan region.
