For many, Vietnam has long been framed through the lens of popular culture, most famously Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo and the countless films depicting the turmoil of the Vietnam War. Today, however, a new chapter is being written and one that will resonate especially with Bhutan’s younger generation. Vietnam will now be remembered not for war, but as the nation graced by the visit of Their Majesties the King and Queen.

The upcoming bye-election in Nubi-Tangsibji is taking on a markedly different tone from the usual contest between ruling and opposition parties. Instead of partisan rivalry, the focus has shifted toward selecting a candidate who possesses the competence, integrity, and maturity to implement national development plans already in place.
The Bhutan Tendrel Party (BTP) has nominated former National Council member of the parliament from Trongsa, Tashi Samdrup, stressing that the by-poll is not merely about filling a vacant seat, but about choosing a leader who understands the responsibilities of public office.

Bhutan has a way of leaving an indelible mark on every visitor - captivating hearts, sparking wonder, and leaving memories that linger for a lifetime. For Jowita Sip, the acclaimed opera singer from Vienna, Austria, this enchantment became reality during her first visit to the Kingdom. She arrived in Thimphu to participate in the 14th chapter of Bhutan Echoes, and like so many before her, left with an experience she will cherish forever.

In a major step toward economic diversification and sustainable development, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Employment (MoICE) has unveiled its Industrial Development Roadmap (IDR), which targets the creation of more than 15,000 renewable energy jobs by 2035.
According to the Ministry, the roadmap is designed to generate large-scale, decent employment across high-growth sectors, while ensuring equitable access for youth, women and rural communities. The IDR also aims to contribute to a 12 percent rise in GDP through renewable energy, and to achieve 10,000 MW of hydropower and 3,000 MW of solar energy generation by 2035.

Bhutan’s hydropower development pipeline is seeing steady progress across multiple sites, with four major projects—Druk Bindu I & II, Jomori, Burgangchhu, and Yungichhu—advancing toward their scheduled commissioning dates. While some projects faced minor delays during mobilization and initial works, officials from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MoENR) confirm that overall timelines remain intact.

Access road works to the (18+8) MW Druk Bindu I & II Hydropower Project (HPP) in Samtse were completed in November 2024, paving the way for main civil works awarded to M/s Penjor Construction Private Limited in December 2024. The contractor swiftly mobilized manpower and equipment, initiating construction of contractor facilities, headworks, headrace pipe tunnels, and powerhouse excavation.

For a leader whose life has been guided by humility and simplicity, the trappings of power and the glitter of praise hold little meaning. His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the Fourth Druk Gyalpo of Bhutan, has always placed service above self, choosing the quiet satisfaction of duty over the loud applause of recognition.

His Majesty’s tireless efforts have not only shaped the destiny of Bhutan but have also offered the world a living example of how leadership, guided by wisdom and moral conviction, can address humanity’s most urgent challenges. From environmental conservation to the holistic philosophy of Gross National Happiness, his work has touched lives, safeguarded nature, and inspired nations.

Prime Minister Graces Salang Tendrel for Bhutan’s First 120 MWp Solar Project

Bhutan marked a historic milestone in its renewable energy journey with the Salang Tendrel ceremony for the 120 megawatt-peak (MWp) Jamjee Solar Photovoltaic Project, the nation’s first and largest grid-connected utility-scale solar initiative. The event was held today at Mewang Gewog, Thimphu.

The ceremony was graced by Prime Minister Dasho Tshering Tobgay and presided over by the Tsho-kyi Lopen of the Zhung Dratshang, who conducted the traditional ritual for the successful commencement of the project.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) will finance 50 percent of the project cost, while the remaining half will be funded by the Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC). Estimated at Nu 4.7 billion, the project will be developed on approximately 385 acres of land at an altitude of around 2,300 metres above sea level.

Awarded to the HILD–Rigsar Consortium in July 2025, the Jamjee Solar Project is expected to play a pivotal role in diversifying Bhutan’s renewable energy mix beyond hydropower. Once operational, the project will strengthen the country’s energy security and contribute to Bhutan’s commitment to sustainable and clean energy development.
