Dharamshala: Sikyong Penpa Tsering extended his heartfelt congratulations to Congressman Jim McGovern on his re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan people in a congratulatory letter.
In his letter, Sikyong wrote, “Your continued presence in Congress represents a beacon of hope not only for your constituents but for advocates of human rights and democracy worldwide.”
“Time and again, your moral leadership and approach to global challenges have set a sterling example of how elected officials can effect meaningful change on the international stage. Your persistent efforts to hold China accountable for its human rights violations in Tibet, as well as your powerful advocacy for religious freedom and cultural preservation, have further strengthened the voice and aspirations of the Tibetan people.”
While recognising that Congressman Jim McGovern’s continued support and guidance are invaluable to the Tibetan cause, the letter further reads, “The Tibetan people are truly fortunate to have such a dedicated friend and advocate in Congress, and we look forward to continuing our work together to advance the cause of human rights, dignity, and freedom for Tibet and oppressed peoples worldwide.”
