State Visit to Bhutan
Published
Beginning on 8 June 2016, Their Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden will pay a three-day State Visit to Bhutan at the invitation of His Majesty the King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. The Government will be represented and a number of Swedish companies will take part in the visit. This is the first State Visit from Sweden to Bhutan.
Diplomatic relations between Bhutan and Sweden were established in 1985. This State Visit is an opportunity to strengthen the political, economic and cultural ties between the two countries, which have common interests, including their commitment to the environment, sustainable development and to combatting climate change.
Further information about the programme and participants will be published nearer the time of the visit.
