SHIMLA: The Central Tibetan Administration of the Tibetan government-in-exile on Tuesday said it is focusing on themes of resilience, remembrance and the urgent need for a peaceful solution to the Sino-Tibetan conflict on the 67th Tibetan National Uprising Day.
This came in a statement issued here, on the occasion of the anniversary of the 1959 uprising, by honoring thousands of Tibetans who sacrificed their lives in Lhasa against Chinese rule.
The central Tibetan administration also called for continued defense of human rights, with international delegations joining the demonstrations to highlight “ongoing repression” in Tibet, according to the statement.
The FTA reaffirmed its commitment to the middle path, seeking a negotiated peace settlement that provides true autonomy for Tibet within China. It also warned against misinformation campaigns aimed at disrupting the activities commemorating this anniversary.
The community’s message seeking a peaceful resolution highlights the “relentless spirit” of the Tibetan people and their commitment to preserving their culture, language and religion “despite decades of cultural erasure policies by the Chinese government,” the statement said.
Since 2026 marks the 90th anniversary of the 14th Dalai Lama, it is the “Year of Compassion,” the association said, encouraging the practice of its four main commitments.
“It is more than just a historical event, it represents the collective memory of a nation that refuses to forget its identity and heritage, as Tibetans have continued to preserve their language, religion and traditions within Tibet and in exile despite decades of political pressure and cultural assimilation policies,” the statement said.
The report added that for many Tibetans, the anniversary of the uprising is not only about mourning the past, but also about reaffirming hope for the future.
The statement added, “March 10 reminds the world that the struggle of the Tibetans is not only about the land, but about the survival of the people, their culture, and their right to determine their future. Every year, Tibetans raise their flag and remember the courage of those who stood in Lhasa in 1959.”
