It was truly an honour to meet His Majesty King of Bhutan Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. It was nice to hear his vision of his Kingdom of Happiness. His thoughts on the aspirational Bhutan are indeed inspiring. We are excited to explore opportunities for the Adani Group to contribute to green infrastructure development for one of our happy and warm neighbours.
The most apt word I can find to describe yesterday’s meeting with King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk of Bhutan is “energising.” At a very young age, he’s accumulated an enormous quantity of experience. But much more than that, he has a vision for his country that is powerful because of its simplicity. There is no sign of any grandiose and outsized ambitions.
And his regard and affinity for India is heartwarming. India must not lose the opportunity to become a partner in turning his vision into reality…
Obviously I was going to talk to the director of LUNANA: A YAK IN THE CLASSROOM. I did not share my yak memes but Pawo Choyning Dorji told me he he saw thousands of yaks to cast the title role. How did he know his ultimate pick had star quality? “He was the least violent!”
Morning assembly in Laya Central School. At 3,800 meters, I guess this is a true ‘high’ school. And it is fantastic that also in this remote part of #Bhutan girls enjoy the game of football. @UNICEFBhutan#ForEveryChild
