Outgoing US Special Coordinator urges dialogue amid transition of governments By Choekyi Lhamo DHARAMSHALA, Jan. 15: The outgoing US Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues Robert Destro hopes for a comprehensive dialogue between transition teams of President-elect Joe Biden and the incumbent President to maintain US government support for the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan exile set-up. SC Destro interacted with six female Tibetan journalists along with his colleagues from the US State Department on Friday. The outgoing coordinator remarked on Phayul’s query on transitions, “Certainly in my experience, it is the relationships we build that get us through transitions. I have some good friends who’ll be coming into the Biden administration. I am talking to them and you will have good friends who are coming into the next CTA administration. And as long as, we keep the conversation going, that is the value of freedom of speech and freedom as reporters. It is the unique perspective you have as Tibetan women reporters. We have to hear your voices.”
