Dharamshala: In attempt to bolster the shared responsibility and function of all branches of the democratic polity, Sikyong Penpa Tsering held a series of meetings with heads of various other authorities of the exile administration as well as media and major NGOs.
Earlier on Friday, Sikyong Penpa Tsering met with representatives of Tibetan Youth Congress led by President Gonpo Dhondup and Tibetan media from Tibet Times, Voice of America Tibetan Service, Tibet Post International, Voice of Tibet, Radio Free Asia-Tibetan Service, Phayul, Tibet Express and Tibet Sun, at the Kashag Secretariat.
In the close to two-hour-long interaction with the media, Sikyong reiterated the key priorities of his administration which includes resumption of dialogue with representatives of the Chinese government to resolve the Sino-Tibet conflict, strengthening the democratic polity and other endeavours such as strengthening the role of media as the fourth pillar of democracy.
The series of meeting over the course of a week came in the backdrop of Sikyong’s manifesto, declaring his resolute commitment to forging unity within the exile Tibetan community through a trickle-down change from top to bottom.
