115th National Day Speech- King Of Bhutan || King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck || Bhutan

115th National Day Speech- King Of Bhutan || King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck || Bhutan
On this National Day, as I contemplate our history, I am filled with awe.
Bhutan became a member of the United Nations in 1971. In 1972, His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo became the King of a country that was largely unknown to the rest of the world. Other than our closest neighbour India, Bhutan did not have diplomatic relations with any country.
The Bhutan that we live in today is a vastly different country.
The sheer scale and magnitude of our country’s transformation is evident when we see how we are preoccupied with finding ways to manage our economy, national debt, finances, human resources and institutions. It is all the more remarkable, given that it was just in 1974 when we started our own currency, and found ourselves struggling to staff our handful of government agencies.
Indeed, over the three and a half decades that His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo reigned from 1972 to 2006, we fundamentally transformed Bhutan. His Majesty left us the solid foundations of a strong, secure and sovereign nation.
Our greatest collective responsibility now is to build upon His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo’s legacy. To hand over to the next generation, a country that has achieved as much or even more than it has over the previous three and a half decades. To leave behind a much stronger nation that enjoys even greater peace, prosperity, and happiness.
On this special occasion, I offer our nation’s heartfelt gratitude, respect and prayers to His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo.
Our National Day commemorates the past, present, and future. It is a special occasion to take stock of our achievements, as we pledge our commitment for the future. After three long years battling the COVID-19 pandemic, we are once again able to come together to celebrate the birth of our nation. This makes this year’s National Day all the more special.
If there was one thing during the entire pandemic that did not surprise me, it would have to be the manner in which our people served and their willingness to make sacrifices for the wellbeing of others. This is who we are, this is who we have always been, and this is who we will continue to be.
I want to take this opportunity to share some of my thoughts on our path ahead, as we look to the future. These five things come to mind.
First, we have learnt a lot from battling the pandemic. While some say the worst days of COVID-19 are over, this will not be the last crisis that we will face together. We must be ready for the next crisis that hits us, be it the next pandemic, war, natural disaster, or otherwise. Our greatest lesson from the pandemic is to be prepared for whatever comes next.
Second, all the signs point to a looming global economic crisis: soaring inflation around the world, the strengthening of the US dollar, the US government’s plans to increase interest rates, the war between Russia and Ukraine that continues to drag on. We must be prepared for the global economic crisis that will certainly have an impact on Bhutan.
Third, we have been working hard to bring about the transformational changes and improvements that we need to strengthen our governance and the economy. We are all doing this for our people, especially our youth, so that they can establish a secure, happy and prosperous future. The transformation process has started promisingly only because we have the strong support of the people. Our responsibility now is to see this process to the end and ensure that we succeed.
Fourth, one issue poses a huge threat to our national security, economy, and the wellbeing of our people and our children, and above all, the future of our nation: drugs and substance abuse. We are a small population. Every child is precious. We cannot afford to lose any child or for that matter, anyone to substance abuse. We must not allow substance abuse to jeopardize their future. Substance abuse is already taking root among our children, and we cannot let it proliferate. We must act now before it is too late, and do whatever it takes to eradicate this threat. Failure is not an option.
Fifth, the manner in which we Bhutanese worked to protect the nation during the pandemic was truly incredible. I witnessed firsthand the concerted efforts and single minded dedication of our people at all levels, in all our twenty dzongkhags. I could not help but think that if we kept up the momentum, we might just be able to achieve all our goals and aspirations. If we were to choose to fight the threat of drug abuse with the same zeal as we fought the pandemic, I am very sure we would succeed.
Tashi Delek
His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck

Its amazing to see someone so well educated, visionary, hardworking and dedicated towards the good of his people, leading the country so well and also with full support of his people. Thank you Bhutan for preserving our rich Himalayan Buddhist culture and for making it even richer. May Kunjyogsum always keep his blessings on your country. ❤️ from Nepal.

[@Bhutan-the-last-shangrila]

Thank you so much

[@insight7232]

Thank you from Bhutan. We love our neighbouring Himalayan country Nepal too. ❤

[@studentofthedecade4324]

@@insight7232 U R most welcome. There are millions of Himali Buddhist people who are scattered all across the Globe. Only within Nepal, we have a significant population of Tamang, Gurung, Sherpa, Magar, Hyolmo and many more. Same is in India and China. We share the same culture and faith and even our language is same at many levels which I believe is because of the script that we share in common. But most of us are divided regionally. We are strong financially and in every otherway yet we do not have a sense of unity. Bhutan is last country that has still preserved our rich culture. I strongly believe that Bhutan has the potential to unify us all and bring all of us under one umbrella. You only need to realize your potential and work towards it. We need to start using one common terms to describe everything that is related to our Himali Buddhist Identity. Lha Gyalo.
