Dharamshala: On behalf of the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan people, Sikyong Penpa Tsering wrote a letter to extend his sincere congratulations to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Joseph Carney and to the Liberal Party on their electoral victory.
In his letter, Sikyong acknowledged Canada’s longstanding support for the Tibetan people, stating, “Canada has become a second home to a growing and vibrant community of Tibetan people, who have always found tremendous empathy and support from successive Canadian governments and its people. The Tibetan cause, in particular, has received consistent support and advocacy from the Canadian Parliamentary Friends of Tibet (PFT), since its formation in 1990, demonstrating Canada’s enduring commitment to human rights and democratic values.”
Sikyong expressed deep appreciation for Canada’s continued solidarity with the Tibetan cause and reiterated his hope for strengthened ties under the new leadership. Sikyong wrote, “We look forward to continued friendship and support under your leadership, as we continue to strive for a lasting, peaceful resolution to the Sino-Tibet conflict based on the Middle Way Approach.”
“As you assume the responsibilities of your high office, I offer my best wishes for your success in leading Canada toward greater prosperity while upholding the principles of freedom, democracy, and human rights that your nation so admirably champions on the world stage,” Sikyong concluded.
