Janis Skuja, chair of TSG in Latvia, warmly received the Tibetan delegation at the airport.
On Sunday evening, Honourable Sikyong participated in a public dialogue on ‘Law, Ethics and Morality’ hosted by the well-known actor Artur Smolyaninov, a Russian dissident in Latvia, at the Splendid Palace. The audience showed great interest and asked interesting questions, including a few from young children, covering a range of issues about belongingness; heritage; culture and language preservation; Latvians’ support for Tibet; Tibet at United Nations; trappings of power, altruism and responsibility; Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan diaspora etc. The day ended late with another interview with a Latvian media after the public talk.
Today, Sikyong is meeting the members of media and engage in meetings followed by a Tibetan film screening and Q&A session at the Riga City Council.
