Indeed, although the Tibetan community is relatively small, I believe it has been making a notable contribution towards Nepal’s economic growth."
"Over the years, there has been significant development and increasing prosperity in Nepal in all spheres of life. Such achievements are all the more meaningful when they really improve the lives of poor and needy people," the Spiritual leader of Tibet wrote.
