Tashi Phuntsok, Secretary of the Department of Information and International Relations for the Central Tibetan Administration (based in Dharamsala, India), announced plans for 25 celebratory events worldwide from June through December 10, the day the Dalai Lama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
Phayul.com reports that these events will “include His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 79th birthday, Tibetan Democracy Day, [and the] birthday of Mahatma Gandhi,” with Phuntsok adding that “these events are observed annually by the Tibetan government in exile, but this year, it will be observed ‘at a larger scale and a greater scale’ with more number of participation from guests including Nobel Peace laureates.”
