DHARAMSHALA, India (AP) \u2014 Penpa Tsering was sworn in Wednesday for a second consecutive term as the president of Tibet\u2019s government-in-exile following his reelection earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Tsering, 58, has led the exile government based in Dharamshala, India, since 2021. He secured another five-year term in elections held in February among Tibetans living in India and overseas. Tsering was first elected to the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile in 1996 and served as speaker from 2008 until he rose to the top executive post.<\/p>\n

Formed in 1959, Tibet\u2019s government-in-exile, now called the Central Tibetan Administration, has executive, judicial and legislative branches.<\/p>\n

Tsering said Wednesday that the Central Tibetan Administration \u201cremains firmly committed to the \u2018Middle Way Policy\u2019 envisioned by His Holiness the Dalai Lama,\u201d adding that the policy seeks resolution through nonviolence, dialogue and lasting mutual benefit.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil a resolution is achieved, we will continue the back-channel communications with caution and steadiness with the Chinese government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tsering\u2019s swearing-in ceremony took place in the presence of the Dalai Lama, who was escorted to the venue by red-robed monks among the sounds of beating drums and chanted prayers. The audience included hundreds of monks and Tibetans who looked on as the Chief Justice Commissioner Yeshi Wangmo of the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission administered the oath of office.<\/p>\n

The February vote marked the fourth direct election of the Tibetan exile leadership since the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, formally ended his role in the administration\u2019s governance in 2011.<\/p>\n

China says Tibet has been part of its territory since the mid-13th century and its Communist Party has governed the Himalayan region since 1951. But many Tibetans say they were effectively independent for most of their history and the Chinese government wants to exploit the resource-rich region while crushing its cultural identity.<\/p>\n

China does not recognize the Central Tibetan Administration and hasn\u2019t held dialogue with the Dalai Lama\u2019s representatives since 2010. India considers Tibet as part of China, but hosts the Tibetan exile government.<\/p>\n

Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama of seeking to separate Tibet from China, which he denies. Some Tibetan groups advocate independence for Tibet, since little progress has been made in talks with China.<\/p>\n

Yu Jing, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in India, on Sunday dismissed the legitimacy of the exile administration, saying it was \u201cnot recognized by any sovereign country\u201d and had no authority to represent Tibetans or oversee the reincarnation process of the Dalai Lama.<\/p>\n

On his 90th birthday last year, the Dalai Lama insisted Chinese authorities would have no role in identifying his successor and the institution of the Dalai Lama would continue after his death.<\/p>\n
