Assuring the Future of Tibet Act of 2026

This bill would set U.S. policy to support the Central Tibetan Administration, the Tibetan government-in-exile, as the representative of the Tibetan people and to support Tibetans' right to self-determination. It would direct the U.S. representative to the United Nations to push for the Central Tibetan Administration to receive observer status at the UN General Assembly and related agencies. The Secretary of State would push for its inclusion in international bodies, hold senior-level meetings with its leader (the Sikyong), and provide that leader with diplomatic courtesies and security during U.S. visits. The Secretary of State would also report to Congress each year on progress.
