Dharamsala, April 25, 2022: This morning His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote to President Macron to congratulate him on his historic re-election as President of France.
In His message the Tibetan leader said: “It has been the Tibetan people’s good fortune to have received the friendship and encouragement of the people of France and their respective leaders in our endeavour to protect and preserve our ancient Buddhist culture, a culture of peace, non-violence (Ahimsa) and compassion (Karuna) that has the potential to benefit the whole of humanity. On behalf of all my fellow Tibetans, may I take this opportunity to express my gratitude once again.
The Nobel laureate added,” I wish you every success in meeting the challenges that lie ahead in fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the French people and in contributing to a more peaceful and harmonious world.”
Emmanuel Macron has won five more years as France's president after a convincing victory over rival Marine Le Pen. He is the first sitting president in 20 years to be re-elected.
