Bhutan’s admittance to the UN in 1971 was historic in many ways. Our membership in the UN was realised mainly due to the wisdom and singular drive of His Late Majesty The Third Druk Gyalpo, during whose reign Bhutan’s socio-economic development journey in its current form began. To date, it is one of the most important foreign policy initiatives of the Royal Government.
