Tibetans celebrate first Dalai Lama-Obama public appearance this week, and applaud recent Obama-Modi cooperation on regional security towards China
3 February 2015
The Tibetan National Congress (TNC), an independent Tibetan political party, celebrates what it sees as a tipping-point in closer India-U.S. relations, with critical implications for Tibet. TNC especially applauds the new India-U.S. commitment to security cooperation, which coincided with a TNC Twitter campaign highlighting the regional security implications of China's occupation of Tibet.
In a historic visit to India, U.S. President Barack Obama joined Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a landmark joint strategic vision aimed at responding to diplomatic, economic and security challenges in Asia-Pacific and the Indian Ocean Region. Numerous reports indicate that the two democratic leaders share unease about China’s aggressive moves in the region, and share an interest in a united approach to address them.
