Geographically Tibet existed as a buffer state for more than two thousand years between two Asian Giants, India and China under occupation by China in 1959.Further, he said that Tibet and India have a millennia-old history of friendly coexistence and cultural exchanges. They have been neighboring countries with rich ancient as well as contemporary civilization ties.

There has never been, in past history, any sort of territorial boundary between India and China. However, such a boundary has now come into being and that boundary continues to remain a subject of dispute and behind those boundaries are our Tibetan brothers and sisters who continue to suffer under the subjugation and repressive policies of China.
