At a time when China\u2019s growing interest in Bhutan is prominently seen and cannot be overlooked, Bhutan has secured its place as an outstanding travel destination in the Chinese market, reported Bhutan Live. Notably, this is the first time the country has received an award in the Chinese market.<\/p>\n
Bhutan won the \u201cOutstanding Destination Excellence Award\u201d in December of last year at the 18th Golden Award of The National Geographic Traveller, one of the first international travel magazines published in China, reported Bhutan Live. The Department of Tourism states that Bhutan will benefit from the designation as a top location for Chinese tourists looking to combine deep cultural immersion with environmental awareness.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we all know China is one of the biggest suppliers of tourists globally. Also, this award is associated with National Geographic which is associated with landscapes, cultures and the wonders of our planet,\u201d the Department of Tourism\u2019s Director General, Dorji Dhradhul said, according to Bhutan Live.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to preserve these for our future generations. Therefore, this is also a big recognition of the sustainability initiatives that our country has taken particularly in tourism,\u201d the Director General added. In October last year, Bhutan\u2019s Foreign Minister, Tandi Dorji, went to Beijing to hold the China-Bhutan boundary talks.<\/p>\n
The 25th Round of Boundary Talks between Bhutan and China was held in Beijing on October 23-24, 2023. Lyonpo (Dr) Tandi Dorji, Minister for Foreign Affairs and External Trade of Bhutan, led the Bhutanese delegation and Sun Weidong, Vice Foreign Minister of China, led the Chinese delegation there.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the talks, the two leaders of the delegations signed the Cooperation Agreement between the Government of the Kingdom of Bhutan and the Government of the People\u2019s Republic of China on the Responsibilities and Functions of the Joint Technical Team (JTT) on the Delimitation and Demarcation of the Bhutan-China Boundary,\u201d the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and External Trade of Bhutan had said in a press release.<\/p>\n
The two sides agreed to continue working together to simultaneously push forward the implementation of all the steps of the Three-Step Roadmap. Since 1984, talks between Bhutan and China have largely focused on two separate areas of dispute, including Doklam and other areas in Bhutan\u2019s West, near the India-China-Bhutan trijunction, and the Jakarlung and Pasamlung valleys located near Tibet to Bhutan\u2019s North.<\/p>\n
Nestled between China and India, the majority-Buddhist nation ushered in democracy with its first free vote in 2008, two years after former king, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, abdicated in favour of his Oxford-educated son Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
