Historic Passport Evidence of Tibet's Nationhood

A passport held by former Tibetan minister marked by the government of Tibet and recognized by 7 countries is proof of Tibet's nationhood. It is on display at the ongoing conference on Free Tibet.

For the first time, the historic passport used by the former Chief of the Finance Department of the then Government of Tibet, late Tsepon Shakabpa Wangchuk Dedhen will be on public display at the Gandhi Peace Foundation, New Delhi from June 23-24, 2007 during the 'Conference for an Independent
Tibet' orgnised by Friends of Tibet.

The passport was recovered by Friends of Tibet in 2004 after many years of its missing. The document had received recognition from seven countries in 1948 when the Tibetan Minister travelled abroad. The first and the only surviving passport of independent Tibet, which is now in the safe custody of HH the Dalai Lama is clear evidence to the historical nationhood of Tibet.
