The Agreement of the Central People's Government and the Local Government of Tibet on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet, or the Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet for short, is the document by which the delegates of the 14th Dalai Lama reached an agreement with the government of the newly-established People's Republic of China on affirming Chinese sovereignty over Tibet. It was, under People's Liberation Army's military pressure, signed and sealed in Beijing on 23 May 1951 and confirmed by the government in Tibet few months later. When the Dalai Lama fled in 1959, he and the Government-in-exile repudiated the agreement.
