Dharamshala: His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written today (15 March 2025) to Mark Carney to congratulate him on his election as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and his appointment as Prime Minister of Canada.
“As someone privileged to be an honorary Canadian citizen myself,” His Holiness wrote, “I am particularly proud that Canada enjoys a vibrant democracy. During my visits to Canada over the years, I have been deeply touched by the warmth of the friendship and affection that Canadians have shown me.
“As I had the opportunity to convey to your predecessors, I would also like to express gratitude to the government and people of Canada for your continued assistance to the Tibetan people.”
His Holiness concluded, “May I wish you all the best in working to meet the aspirations of the people of Canada and in contributing to global peace and stability.”
