Guwahati: A special session on “Tibet Awareness” featuring Sikyong Penpa Tsering, President of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), was held today at The Assam Royal Global University (RGU) under the theme “Security and Environment.” The programme aimed to deepen academic understanding among Indian students about Tibet’s geopolitical and ecological importance.
Addressing the gathering, Sikyong Penpa Tsering described Tibet as “the biggest plateau on earth and the roof of the world, but sadly the biggest open-air prison today.” Highlighting Tibet’s role as the “rainmaker of Asia,” he stressed the urgent need for global attention to China’s policies in the region and called for collective efforts to push for negotiations.
