The Honourable Emma Bonino,

I am writing this letter to you to personally thank you for accepting our invitation to speak at the recently concluded III Tibet Support Groups conference in Berlin.

Your presence and your comments on the issue of Tibet have been a source of great encouragement to all the participants.

We deeply appreciate your comments on changing the EU's attitude and policy towards the issue of Tibet. Ours is a non-violent struggle and consistent policies initiated by EU towards the issue of Tibet will have a lasting and beneficial impact on the lives of the Tibetan people in Tibet.

We look towards you for your continued support and understanding on the issue of Tibet.

We would also like to invite you to Dharamsala at a time convenient to you.

Yours sincerely,

T.C.Tethong
