Sikyong (president of Central Tibetan Administration) Penpa Tsering met the representatives of various Buddhist religious centres based in Toronto at the Tibetan Canadian Cultural Centre on his visit there and urged them to adopt a resolution and release a joint statement regarding the issue of the 14th Dalai Lama’s reincarnation and to discuss programmes for celebrating the 90th birth anniversary for a whole year.
