In an indication that the US will continue with its focus on Tibet, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday appointed Under Secretary Uzra Zeya to serve concurrently as the US Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues, a role she will take on immediately.

Diplomat Robert A. Destro will also continue serving as the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues.

Destro was named in October last year to lead US efforts to promote dialogue between China and the Dalai Lama or his representatives; protect the unique religious, cultural, and linguistic identity of Tibetans; and press for their human rights to be respected.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
