Sikyong’s two years in office

August 9, 2013;

The Central Tibetan Administration held a special prayer service at the Tsuglakhang (Main temple) marking two years since Dr Lobsang Sangay was sworn in as the de facto Prime Minister of Tibet. The service was presided over by the Karmapa, Kirti Rinpoche and the Abbot of Namgyal monastery, and attended by Sangay’s cabinet colleagues, CTA officials and local Tibetans. Sangay expressed solidarity with all those Tibetans who have self-immolated for the cause of Tibet, and their family members, and appealed to Tibetans inside Tibet to refrain from protesting by such drastic actions as self-immolation.
