Sikyong of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile visits Parliament

Tibet has suffered greatly and as Chairman of the Parliamentary All Party Tibet Group I took great pleasure in welcoming the Sikyong of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile to Westminster where he addressed MPs and met the Speaker. As the equivalent of the Tibetan Premier the Sikyong represents millions of Tibetans who have been forced to flee their country or who still live their under Chinese oppression, and is an impressive, if relatively powerless, advocate on their behalf. In an unprecedented move, The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, welcomed the Sikyong, Dr Lobsang Sangay, to the House, you can watch him do so in the video above. He was also able to have a meeting with the Speaker, who was very supportive.
