The Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet, is likely to visit Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang region, CM Pema Khandu announced on Thursday. This will be the Dalai Lama’s 8th visit to the state.

Today, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu chaired a review meeting to review the preparations at Tawang for the visit of the 14th Dalai Lama.

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), CM Khandu said, “In view of the upcoming proposed visit of His Holiness to the district, chaired a meeting to review the preparations today at Tawang.”

The meeting was attended by MLAs- Tsering Tashi, Tsering Lhamu including DoKAA Chairperson Jambey Wangdi, representatives of Monpa Mimang Tsokpa, and other officials.
