I have never visited Bhutan, but I have read and heard much about the country described by many as “the last Shangri-la” on earth. I was also struck to read what Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay said during a lecture in February, that 72% of its land area is forested, and that it is the only one in the world that is a net ‘carbon sink’ (meaning it removes more carbon dioxide than it produces). There is much that Bhutan has to offer, and protect and preserve for generations to come.

Happy to welcome and host PM Tobgay to lunch yesterday during his first official visit to Singapore. We established diplomatic relations with Bhutan in 2002 and have built warm and friendly ties since. I was also deeply appreciative of His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck’s attendance at Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s funeral service last year.

As small states with limited resources, Singapore and Bhutan face common challenges. We both understand the importance of building up our workforces through education and training. PM Tobgay told me that he visited the Singapore Tourism Board, ITE and ICA to learn more about our agencies and processes. Look forward to growing and strengthening our ties with Bhutan. – LHL (MCI Photo by Kenji Soon)
