Today, I had the pleasure of welcoming H.E. Ms. KUNIMITSU Ayano, State Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan, during her visit to Bhutan.

Her visit comes as we commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bhutan and Japan, marking four decades of friendship and cooperation between our two countries.

We exchanged views on matters of mutual interest and discussed ways to further strengthen our longstanding partnership and deepen cooperation in the years ahead.

I also reflected on the close and enduring bonds between the Royal Family of Bhutan and the Imperial Family of Japan, as well as the warm people-to-people ties that continue to form an important foundation of the special friendship between our two countries.

I visited Jamtsholing Gyalsung Academy today and interacted with the trainee Gyalsups undergoing their three-month Gyalsung training.

Sharing my own experience, I told them that even at the age of 56, I was able to learn many new things during my three-week De-suung training. I encouraged the young Gyalsups to approach their training with an open mind and make the most of this opportunity by gaining as much knowledge, skills, and experience as they can.

I urged them to use these three months to build a strong foundation for their future—grounded in discipline, perseverance, and values that will guide them throughout their lives.

I reminded the Gyalsups that this opportunity is a precious Royal Soelra from His Majesty The King. The best way we can honour and express our gratitude for this gift is to put what we learn into practice and grow into productive, responsible, and dedicated citizens who contribute meaningfully to the future of Bhutan.

Yesterday, I visited the Khotokha Gyalsung Academy in Wangdue Phodrang, where I met and interacted with the Gyalsups undergoing training.

I encouraged the Gyalsups to embrace their training with sincerity, discipline, and wholehearted commitment, and to make the most of every opportunity this journey offers.

I reminded them of how Gyalsung is a precious Royal Soelra from His Majesty The King—an opportunity for every Bhutanese youth to build a strong foundation for life through values, discipline, skills, perseverance, and physical fitness.

Those who have completed their Gyalsung journey often look back on it as one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences of their lives. I encouraged the Gyalsups to give their very best during this important chapter, so that they too may one day look back with pride, gratitude, and cherished memories.

Yesterday, I attended the Markandeya Mahapurana at the Durga Panchayan Mandir in Thimphu and offered my prayers on this auspicious occasion.

The Mahapurana, which commenced yesterday, will continue until 27 August 2026. I appreciate the Hindu Dharma Samudaya of Bhutan, the Mandir Committee, and its local chapters for organising this sacred programme and bringing the community together in prayer and devotion.
