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 Chinese state media Xinhua has announced that the Potala Palace in Lhasa is to undergo a large scale renovation to the roof costing more than US$1.5 million (£1.2 million). Damage to the gold-plated roof caused by exposure to the elements will be repaired and the report also says the security surveillance system will be improved. The Potala is a UNESCO world heritage site.
