Dharamshala: CTA President Penpa Tsering, on behalf of the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan people, extended his warmest congratulations to the newly elected Prime Minister of Nepal, Honourable Balendra Shah, who was sworn in on 27 March 2026.
In his congratulatory letter, the Sikyong wrote, “Your emergence as the youngest Prime Minister, following the recent Gen-Z led movement, stands as a powerful symbol of the aspirations of the people of Nepal, particularly younger generation.”
The letter further reads, “Nepal and Tibet share deeply rooted historical and spiritual bonds that have endured across generations. These ties are further strengthened by the Tibetan community in Nepal, who, having found refuge following the forced occupation of Tibet, have long contributed to the social and economic fabric of Nepal while preserving their Tibetan identity. This was made possible by the generosity of the Government and people of Nepal, for which we remain deeply grateful.”
He concluded by stating, “Please accept my sincere congratulations and my best wishes for your success as you lead Nepal during this significant period in its history. Under your able leadership, we look forward to the continued strengthening of the friendship between our people and hope for Nepal to advance towards progress, prosperity, and positive change.”
