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.

Border Tensions

May 17, 2022;

China is building a bridge across Pangong Lake in Ladakh in north India on the border with Tibet. The 500 metre bridge is situated south of an area which, originally in Indian territory, has been occupied by the Chinese since the border war in 1962. The bridge will facilitate access for Chinese troops to the disputed area; India’s response is to boost its defence capabilities in the area.
