On the eve of ushering in the Tibetan Fire-Horse Year 2153 of the 17th Sexagenary on Feb 18, 2026, the executive head of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), Sikyong Penpa Tsering, called for unity of the Tibetan people in the face of the great adversity that is China. The Speaker of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile (TPiE) as well as the Chief Justice Commissioner of the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission also made similar appeals in their Losar greetings.
“When we unite and pool our collective strength, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. History has shown that through unity we can overcome great challenges,” he said in his message.
And he continued, “Our adversary, the People’s Republic of China, is a powerful nation; without unity among ourselves, we risk internal divisions that weaken our common cause. Divided, we achieve nothing. United, we move forward with strength and purpose.”
