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.

Historic Agreement

December 21, 2015;

World Trade Organisation (WTO) countries have agreed to abolish subsidies on farming exports. Developed countries will stop subsidies immediately, developing countries have until the end of 2018. The WTO, which represents 162 countries, says this is “the most significant outcome on agriculture” since its foundation in 1995. Removing agriculture export subsidies is aimed at helping farmers in poorer countries to compete more fairly.
