line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">待漢人朋友。尤其今年,難得藏曆新年和農曆新年正巧遇到是同一天<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">,更是值得共同慶賀!達賴喇嘛尊者駐北美代表處特別於二月九日在<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">華府辦公室以「謝謝華人朋友」爲主題,再次設藏餐風味晚宴和藏族<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">歌舞款待我們這些同樣流亡在外的漢人——儘管,<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;

line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">的華人朋友見面。歐珠次仁先生在調往北美前,原任藏人行政中央教<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">育部長,曾在教育部工作多年。西藏流亡政府對藏人素質教育的高度<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">重視和取得的卓然成就可謂衆所周知、舉世矚目。毫不意外地,歐珠<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">次仁代表在致辭中也特別談到了「教育」對於藏漢年青一代達成對彼<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;

line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">展現出他有條不紊的高效,一面主持酒會,<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; font-family: Arial;">一面將新抵達的客人介紹給歐珠次仁代表,一面還不忘照顧每位來賓<wbr></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;
