Prime Minsiter Lotay Tshering of Bhutan has the best way to celebrate king’s 40th birthday
It’s a big year for the king of Bhutan.
King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck turned 40 on February 21st.
His wife is also soon to have their second child.
What do you give the monarch who has everything?
Prime Minister Lotay Tshering came up with a great idea.
He’s asking every citizen to adopt a stray dog.
Or plant a tree.
Or simply commit to cleaning up your neighborhood.
Personal commitment such as this, he said, would be the best gift for His Majesty.
Lotay Tshering, Prime Minister of Bhutan
