Dharamshala – The Speaker of Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile has expressed his hope that the leadership of new UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown will accord due priority to the resolution of Tibet issue.
“Tibet and Great Britain have shared a long historical destiny when British-India government was in existence,” Speaker T.T. Karma Chophel said, in a congratulatory letter to Mr Brown.
