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.
Pope Francis has said that he will meet the Dalai Lama, and that his refusal to meet His Holiness in December was due to Vatican protocol and not fear of upsetting China. Pope Francis said “a date has been fixed, we are in contact”. When Pope Francis was elected Pope, His Holiness wrote: “May I offer you my greetings and sense of joy on your historic election as the Pope.”
