Washington DC: Representative Ngodup Tsering participated in the 60th anniversary of Tibetan Democracy Day, via virtual celebration, on 5th September, 2020. The event was organized by the Tibetan Association of Toronto and the Gangjong Choden Ling Tibetan community Centre.
Representative Tsering spoke on the importance of democracy and the role of citizens in strengthening democratic systems. Referring to the upcoming Sikyong and Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile election, Rep Tsering advised citizens to be prepared by fulfilling conditions necessary to become an eligible voter.
He drew comparisons between His Holiness and Xi Jinping; the former devolved all political power to an elected leadership while the latter continued to grab Democratic power unto himself. Highlighting the importance of education in general and Tibetan language in particular, Rep Tsering called upon the community to provide highest priority to educating kids.
