On October 30, 2026, a delegation from MINDAI, led by Dr. Aimon Kopera, founder of the MINDAI Institute, met with Speaker Dolma Tsering Teykhang and Deputy Speaker Khenpo Sonam Tenphel at the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile.
The delegation comprised philanthropists, technology leaders, mindful investors, and social entrepreneurs who support Monlam AI and the initiatives of the Monlam Research Institute. Tenzin Norsang, Chief Development Officer of the Monlam Tibetan IT and Research Center, accompanied the group.
During the meeting, the delegation received a briefing on the development and operation of Tibetan democracy under the guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The discussion addressed the composition of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile and its primary initiatives, including periodic visits to Tibetan settlements and communities, parliamentary outreach, and the organization of the World Parliamentarians’ Convention on Tibet.
The delegation was also briefed on Tibet’s historical status as an independent and sovereign nation and on efforts to counter China’s narrative regarding its occupation of Tibet. Additional topics included the critical human rights situation for Tibetans within Tibet and the environmental consequences of China’s unsustainable exploitation of the Tibetan plateau, which affects millions across multiple countries.
The Speaker and the Deputy Speaker commended Monlam AI and the Monlam Research Institute for their exemplary contributions to preserving Tibetan language, culture, and religion through the development of a digital platform. The Speakers expressed appreciation for the supporters’ significant contributions to these initiatives. The meeting concluded with a question-and-answer session and a tour of the parliamentary hall.
