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.

The airport will now have the ability to handle nine million people and 80,000 metric tonnes of cargo annually: over 75 percent of Tibet’s passenger traffic. The state media Global Times said it will “help transform the region into an international logistics hub for South Asia.”
