Barnes also serves as the Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. In his capacity as Special Coordinator, the Senators called on Barnes to work with Congress to promote Sino-Tibetan dialogue, support the people of Tibet no matter where they reside, and counter Chinese malign influence. A position created in 2002 by the <em>Tibetan Policy Act,<\/em> the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues coordinates U.S. government policies, programs, and other projects concerning Tibetan issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe congratulate you on your appointment as the U.S. State Department Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues. This position has long reflected bipartisan and unwavering U.S. support for the Tibetan people\u2019s ongoing struggle for human rights and democratic freedoms\u2014consistent with American values, universal human rights standards, and protecting U.S. interests from the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s (CCP) influence,\u201d <strong>wrote the Senators. \u201c<\/strong>We know what is possible when the Administration and Congress work together to promote America\u2019s interests regarding Tibet. We look forward to working with you as Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues to implement these laws and appropriations provided by Congress, to advance a renewed and reinvigorated push to peacefully resolve the dispute over Tibet\u2019s future, and to continue the U.S. government\u2019s unwavering support for our Tibetan allies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The full letter can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Rosen_Curtis_Special_Coordinator_Letter_FINAL.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HERE<\/span>.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been a supporter of Tibet and its people.
