US designates Indian-origin Urza as Special Coordinator for Tibetan issues

Fluent in Arabic, French and Spanish, Indian-origin Urza Zeya was acting assistant secretary of human rights, democracy, and labour. In that post, she had led UN-US human rights dialogue with China, Egypt, and Bahrain, among others, he said.
Zeya is now designated by the US as its Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues and she has been tasked with promoting “substantive dialogue” between China and the Dalai Lama or his representatives, in support of a negotiated agreement on Tibet.
She will coordinate the US government policies, programmes and projects concerning Tibetan issues, consistent with the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002, as amended by the Tibetan Policy and Support Act of 2020.
