The Union of Asian Alpine Associations, (UAAA), has launched its own website. The site, www.uaaa-asia.org, was presented in connection with the UAAA council meeting on May 29 in Kathmandu, Nepal.

The UAAA is a regional forum for the UIAA's Asian members and was formed in 1994. The homepage is still under development, but aims to offer infor-mation about UAAA activities, member associations and mountaineering in Asia.

At the council meeting it was also decided to organise two UAAA events next year in Nepal: a member countries joint expedition to Langshisa Ri in the Langtang region, and the International Mountain Environment Symposium.
