and Integrity

Former political prisoner and filmmaker
Mr. Ngodup Dongchung is the one who has personally visited Tibet and has a very good grasp of the situation inside Tibet and the thoughts of the Tibetans inside Tibet. Many people recognize him as one who has the capability to bring all Tibetans together and lead them effectively. I support him for the 2021 Sikyong.

Even the Chinese government has recognised him (Kasur Ngodup Dongchung) as a vital person and someone who is genuinely and thoroughly informed about situations inside Tibet and in exile

Because of Kasur Dongchung Ngodup’s consistent interaction with Tibetans inside Tibet, he knows the true aspirations of Tibetans inside Tibet. The fact that most of the former political prisoners are supporting him tells us something about him
Chung Tsering
Tibetan lecturer at Australian National University
Highly self-disciplined, taciturn and diligent, ability to care for all issues, skillful in maintaining public relations, as well as an untainted and impeccable record of integrity are few of the hallmarks of Kasur Ngodup Dongchung, which has earned him trust and respect of Tibetan people from both within and outside of Tibet.

With 40 years of unblemished transparent service record, Kasur Dongchung Ngodup can provide a stable harmonious leadership, free from internal discord. He has the confidence to build a bridge between Tibetans in Tibet, necessary for the resolution

To someone like me who had just come out of an abusive, torturous and a harsh oppressive system; the first time we met, you interacted with me with a composure of a leader, and your words of compassion filled me with warmth and fearlessness
MEET KASUR DONGCHUNG NGODUP
Mr. Ngodup Dongchung is a first-generation Tibetan refugee who has spent most of his adult life as a public servant.
Before he became a diplomat as the incumbent Representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in New Delhi (2016- present), and a politician on the assumption of his previous ministerial post (2007-2016), for most of his life, he was a dedicated bureaucrat and a well-loved colleague who had spent three decades working behind the scene for the Tibetan public.
Through his service at the Department of Security, he has not only worked to resolve the challenges that Tibetans in diaspora face, but also initiated and maintained sustained interactions with Tibetans from Tibet. With this unique experience, he brings forth a formidable grassroots knowledge of the pan-Tibetan constituency.
