Dharamshala: In a letter addressed to the newly elected Sweden Prime Minister H.E Ulf Kristersson, Sikyong Penpa Tsering of the Central Tibetan Administration congratulated the new Prime Minister on his victory.
Sikyong writes, “Honourable Prime Minister, on behalf of the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan people, I congratulate you on becoming the new prime minister of Sweden. I had a brief but memorable first official visit to Sweden this month and was greatly encouraged by the warm reception. We are grateful for the longstanding support your great nation and its people have shown us.”
Sikyong expressed his hope of renewed support for the Tibet cause under the leadership of the new PM, adding, “In these challenging times for Tibet and the Tibetan people, the continuance of this support under your leadership is vital for bringing a definite end to the repression of Tibetans in Tibet”.
As the new PM assumes the high office, Sikyong expressed optimism in the new administration’s leadership to render necessary support to the Tibetan people while continuing to hold the Chinese government accountable for its unabated human rights violations in Tibet.
He concluded by conveying his warm wishes and his sincere gratitude.
