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 Chinese-appointed Panchen Lama, Panchen Gyaltsen Norbu, speaking at a meeting of the Chinese People’s Consultative Conference earlier this month, spoke out against “foreign interference in Tibetan affairs”. Tibetans generally do not recognise Panchen Gyaltsen Norbu as the Panchen Lama, seeing him as a puppet of China; he was appointed by China following their abduction of the child Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima in 1995.
