Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

17,555 people living at high altitude in Tibet are to be relocated to lower ground within the next six weeks, reports Chinese state media Xinjhua, saying this is a local programme which will move 130,000 people over eight years to “improve people’s living and protect the plateau region’s fragile ecosystem”. People will be moved “to more hospitable areas” from “places with harsh weather and relatively backward production and living conditions”.
