The ceremony took place at Namgyal Monastery on 27 May, in the presence of the Dalai Lama, senior monks and members of the Tibetan exile community. Tsering was re-elected after winning 61 percent of votes in the preliminary round of elections held across 27 countries.

The event marked the start of a new mandate for the administration, which represents an estimated 150,000 Tibetans living outside their homeland and remains a key institution for exiles worldwide.

In his address, Tsering renewed support for the Dalai Lama's "Middle Way" approach, which seeks greater autonomy for Tibet through dialogue rather than independence. He also urged Tibetans inside Tibet to preserve their language, religion and cultural identity.
