In a press conference on July 2, 2025, Sikyong President, Central Tibetan Administration, Penpa Tsering spoke about Dalai Lama’s wish to go back to Tibet.
00:00I think it's entirely dependent on China, Chinese government.
00:06Previous times they expressed their interest in inviting His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, to China and Tibet.
00:12And His Holiness has, at many occasions, expressed his wish to visit China and Tibet if it's possible.
00:19But the Chinese government put this condition that if His Holiness comes to China or Tibet, he should stay back.
00:26And His Holiness' response is, if I get to go to Tibet and China, I will go, but I will not live there because there is no freedom there.
00:36And I think this is also connected with the reincarnation when His Holiness says that I will be born in a free world.
00:43So we still don't know whether this is possible or not.
00:46You all know that His Holiness these days travels only two times in a year.
00:50One's during summer to Ladakh and another during winter in another place last time it was in South India.
00:57So His Holiness can still manage to travel to Ladakh and the altitude of Ladakh is similar to Lhasa.
01:05So if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure depending on His Holiness' health, it will be decided accordingly.
01:13So if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities without preconditions, I'm sure if there are opportunities
