Former Slovakian President Andrej Kiska has urged European countries to raise their voices in support of Tibet, highlighting its plight as akin to Ukraine's current strife. Kiska spoke during the 66th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising Day, commemorated in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh.

Emphasizing the significance of Tibet's cultural identity and human rights struggle, Kiska recalled his shift from business to humanitarian efforts inspired by the Dalai Lama. The commemoration began with the traditional hoisting of the Tibetan flag by Sikyong Penpa Tsering, displaying unity against Chinese occupation.
