Dharamshala: Sikyong Penpa Tsering of the Central Tibetan Administration wrote to the newly elected President of the Czech Republic today congratulating him for winning the Presidential election.
Sikyong wrote, “On behalf of the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan people, I extend my warmest congratulations as you take office to serve as the next president of the Czech Republic.”
He noted, “The Czech Republic has demonstrated time and again its leadership as a beacon of democracy and of a principled, values-based system in a world where these values are not upheld everywhere. We are confident that under your presidency, the Czech Republic’s commitment to human rights and democratic freedom will continue to grow, and be a shining example for others.”
“It is my sincere hope that you will continue to carry forward the spirit of the great Vaclav Havel and contribute significantly to peace in Europe and around the world,” the letter concludes.
