His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Dr Lobsang Sangay, the head of Central Tibetan Administration both congratulated President Joe Biden on his inauguration at the Capitol building in Washington on Wednesday. His Holiness also noted Biden’s immediate Executive Order recommitting the United States to the Paris Climate Accord. Sangay urged Biden to continue US support for the Tibetan cause, saying China’s rise posed a threat to “global democracy” and “universal ideals.”
