Tibet Interest Group Webinar

On 9 October 2020, the Tibet Interest Group (TIG) will meet in the form of a webinar on the topic of campaigning for Tibet under the current pandemic situation.

The guests of honour joining MEPs from the TIG are Dr. Lobsang Sangay, President of the Central Tibetan Association, and Mr. Tashi Phuntsok, representative of H. H. the Dalai Lama.

Following questions will be discussed:
