His Holiness the Dalai Lama has congratulated the World Food Programme (WFP) after the UN affiliated organisation won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize. His Holiness said that the WFP played a “vital role in reducing hunger in the world.” He also said that the problem of world hunger could only be solved “on the basis of international cooperation.” The Dalai Lama received the Nobel Peace Prize himself in 1989.
