He recounted the first ever visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Latin America region including Mexico, adding, that the visit marked the beginning of a special bond that has since been fortified following His Holiness’ several visits to Mexico as well as to the region. Sikyong conveyed his gratitude to all the deputies and Tibet support groups who facilitated these visits and continue to advocate for the just cause of Tibet.
“Today, the critical situation inside Tibet is further exacerbated by the repressive policies of the Chinese government aimed at eradicating the very identity of the Tibetan people. At such a time, the news of the formal establishment of the group is highly welcomed,” he added and thanked all the group members while extending them his best wishes for all its future undertaking
