In her speech, she said that, “the Strasbourg Proposal suggested by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in 1988 at the European Parliament has also caused debates regarding the aims and objectives of TYC where issues of reform in TYC’s aims and objectives were brought up but post nullification of the Strasbourg Proposal in 1991, it was made clear that there would be no reform in the aims and objectives of TYC.”
