Dharamshala: The Central Tibetan Administration and government-in-exile today organized a two day event in Dari Ground, near Dharamshala. The event which took place this morning was entitled "Thank You Himachal Pradesh", and marked the 50th anniversary of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's arrival to Dharamshala, India, on the 13th April 1960. The event was held to express the Tibetan people's gratitude towards the Himachal people and their government.
Present at the ceremony was the exiled Tibetan leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama; Professor Prem Kumar Dhumal, the honorable Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh; Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile together with other senior Tibetan and Indian officials.
In His Holiness the Dalai Lama's key note speech he expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the consistent and ongoing aid and support received from the Himachal people over the last 50 years. "On behalf of 6 million Tibetan people, I thank the government and the people of Himachal Pradesh for providing sincere help and support for the exiled Tibetans." He observed that in comparison to other exiled communities around the world the Tibetans are more united and developed, and this could not have been achieved without the help of Indian central government as well as Himachal Pradesh. Moreover, the joint hard work of both the Tibetan and Indian people and their governments has enabled Tibetan settlements to exist and flourish throughout India.
