Our Minister Counsellor, Martine Aamdal Bottheim, had an enriching visit to Bhutan last week! Bhutan is a small Himalayan kingdom, based on Buddhism. The country has a strong culture and a well preserved and beautiful nature. 🌏 The visit started with great news, congratulating Dago Beda on her re-appointment as Consul for Norway to Bhutan, a well-deserved recognition! A meeting with the Hon’ble Minister of Industry, Commerce & Employment, Lyonpo Namgyal Dorji gave an insightful introduction. His vision for Bhutan’s economic growth, youth employment, and the exciting new mindfulness city, #Gelephu, all within a sustainable framework, is truly inspiring. Another highlight from the visit included the meeting with the Buddhist master Khenpo Phuntsok Tashi. Bhutan is the only country with Buddhism as a state religion. The lama’s eloquent teachings on #Buddhism and Bhutanese culture provided a deeper understanding of the Bhutanese society. The lama even shared that his first trip abroad was to Norway - a journey he cherishes🙏 Visitor’s to Bhutan come to explore Bhutan’s rich culture and pristine nature. And the trip gave ample of opportunities to visit iconic sites like the #Tashichhodzong, the #BuddhaPoint, #PunakhaDzong, the #NationalMuseum and a hike to #Taktshang – the Niger’s Nest.   The visit was organized by the Bhutanese embassy in New Delhi with support of the Department of Tourism - Bhutan. The excellent program and the warm hospitality shown by the Bhutanese people made it an interesting and memorable one. Adding a building block in the already longstanding and excellent relationship between Bhutan and Norway 🤝     Ministry of Foreign Affairs and External Trade, Bhutan #BhutanBelive #SustainableDevelopment #CulturalExchange
