We renew our hearty congratulations on your election and look forward to our cooperation for the well-being of the Tibetan people," they wrote.Members of the Tibet Interest Group in the EU Parliament applauded the successful completion of the democratic election in Tibetan exile while congratulating the new Tsering and members of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile."We would like to use this opportunity to invite you to Brussels - as soon as the situation allows it - in order to exchange with us about the situation in Tibet and ways in which the European Parliament could contribute to improving the human rights situation of the Tibetan people."We look forward to working with you to support a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Tibet through a direct negotiation process between the CTA and the Chinese government in line with the Middle Way Approach," they wrote.Adding to the list of congratulatory letters to Tsering, Ferenc Gelencser, Deputy Mayor of Budavar (First District) of Budapest, Hungary offered its best wishes and conveyed the significance of Tibet cause to them."I would also like to praise the compassion and commitment of the people of Tibet who strive for a once again free and independent state for a nation to be self-determined," Gelencser wrote."As a Hungarian national whose country has been under foreign rule for centuries, I do understand your people's struggle.
