Dharamshala: Deputy Speaker Dolma Tsering Teykhang met with Rebon Banerjee, Trustee of the Foundation for Non-Violent Alternatives (FNVA), on 4 November 2024 at the Deputy Speaker’s chamber. Three young Tibetan researchers accompanied Rebon Banerjee.

During their meeting, the Deputy Speaker encouraged three young Tibetan researchers to focus more on Tibet-related topics and leverage all available platforms to raise awareness about Tibet.

She also shared her experience attending one of the IPAC meetings, highlighting the importance of a unified message from Tibetans worldwide to reach a broader audience effectively.

The young researchers presented a brief overview of their work, outlining their research objectives and emphasising how well-conducted research, backed by accurate data, can help address miscommunication within the Tibetan community and in the broader international arena.

They further discussed with the Deputy Speaker how the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile and the Foundation for Non-Violent Alternatives could collaborate for more constructive outcomes and amplify the message, sharing their prior experiences in varied spheres.

They had a very fruitful meeting, followed by a guided tour of the parliament hall, where the Deputy Speaker provided an overview of the parliament’s structure, evolution, and functioning.
