Newly-elected Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile, Lobsang Sangay has said his top priority is to restore freedom in Tibet and asked China to review its "hard-line" Tibet policy.
Sangay said that the 76-year-old Dalai Lama would return during his lifetime to the Potala Palace he fled nearly 50 years ago.
The 43-year-old Havard law researcher won 55 per cent votes in the March 20 election held around the world, defeating two candidates, Tenzin Namgyal Tethong and Trash Waged.
"We are already facing immense challenges including a critical situation in Nags and Andi with Tibetans being killed and arrested by the Chinese government. I urge every Tibetan and friends of Tibet to join me in our common cause to alleviate the suffering of Tibetans in occupied Tibet and to return His Holiness to his rightful place in the Potable Palace," Sana said in a statement after the election results were announced.
