Bhutan’s first ambassador to Australia, Sonam Tobgay, presented his credentials virtually to General David Hurley, AC, DSC (Retd), the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, today.
The ambassador conveyed the warm greetings of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen, and the best wishes of the people and the Royal Government of Bhutan to the Governor-General.
This is Bhutan’s 10th diplomatic mission abroad. The Royal Bhutanese Embassy in Canberra will open next month.
Australia is a preferred educational destination for thousands of Bhutanese, most of whom have returned home and contributed to nation-building. Australia has today the largest number of Bhutanese citizens living abroad.
Ambassador Sonam Tobgay will present his credentials to the Governor-General in person after the current lockdown in Canberra is lifted.
