As a Bhutanese it’s always honour to hear from our PM. Our country is taking a great step to this remarkable journey for a mindful city that wants to divert the country’s economy from hydro- to a mindful city that is a hope to change the future of Bhutan due to the great climatic change….. to conclude we #will succeed…..and I hope the world see that Bhutan is not trying to enter the world of materials contributing to pollutions rather is trying to survive with the changing climate … …

The frame of question being asked that was to good to be true was very much relevant with its answer… our PM nailed it and proud to be Bhutanese

Bhutan is a kingdom and the govt is cautious about people who support the abolishment of the monarchy.

[@therealvlad505]

Is it a constitutional monarchy, like the UK?

CNA's sudden interest in Bhutan is truly amazing. Like so many other CNA surprise stories, I wonder where all this came from.

Bhutan shouldn't worry too much about high youth unemployment. Just look at your neighbor India - millions of young Indians are still jobless and can't find work for years, yet they are all still happy with their government.

Above all the biggest worry for Bhutan is the Chinese danger in the north in future.

[@nepalirecaps]

True. China is rich, Bhutan is poor. When someone goes to the border, they will want to be on the Chinese side.

Worried India,as a Bhutanese I get it but leave UAS out of it. Track record shows USA brings only destruction to small nation like us. example Iraq,Libya,Africa and lists goes on. Fact : Bhutan does not have diplomatic relation with USA and Bhutan is happy.so think about it
